[PATCH 1/4] tracing/selftest: Add a WARN_ON() if a tracer test fails

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a WARN_ON() output on test failures so that they are easier to detect
in automated tests. Although, the WARN_ON() will not print if the test
causes the system to crash, obviously.
