[PATCH v5 0/6] kselftests: livepatch: Adapt tests to be executed on 4.12 kernels

[Marcos Paulo de Souza]

This is the fifth version of the patchset, which fixes the last Sashiko
comment, about overwriting MOD_LIVEPATCH global variable and using a
local variable to avoid module load clashing when an older kernel
don't support some sysfs attributes.

Original cover-letter:
These patches don't really change how the patches are run, just skip
some tests on kernels that don't support a feature (like kprobe and
livepatched living together) or when a livepatch sysfs attribute is
missing.

These patches are based on printk/for-next branch.

Please review! Thanks!

Changes in v4:
- Patch 5 was changed in order to address a comment made by Sashiko, where
  subsequent tests rewrite the variables that contain the modules being loaded.
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260427-lp-tests-old-fixes-v3-0-ccf3c90f744c@xxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Patch 1 was changed to reorganize the ifdeffery to handle multiple archs syscall wrapper (Miroslav)
- Patch 3 was changed to rework the commit message and to address function naming (Joe)
- Patches 4, 5 and 6 where had the commit messages to include the kernel version where
  the given sysfs attributes were included (Petr Mladek)
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260413-lp-tests-old-fixes-v2-0-367c7cb5006f@xxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Patch descriptions were changed to remove "test-X", since it was polluting the commit subjects (Miroslav Benes)
- Patch 8 was dropped since it was checking for a message from an out-of-tree patch. (Petr Mladek)
- Patch 3 was dropped as should be treated as expected failure for older kernels. (Petr Mladek)
- Patch 2 was changed to use y/n instead of 1/0, since it's more natural to use it.
- Patch 1 was changed to handle ppc and loongson, and error out if dealing with a different architecture that sets
  CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER and haven't changed the test to include the proper wrapper prefix.
- Patch 4 was changed to invert the return of the bash function to return 1 in failure, like
  a normal bash function (Joe Lawrence)
- Patches 5, 6 an 7 were changed to not split the tests, but to only run the tests
  when the attribute were present (Miroslav Benes)
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260313-lp-tests-old-fixes-v1-0-71ac6dfb3253@xxxxxxxx
