[LTP PATCH 2/5] ftrace: Add C implementation of ftrace_regression01

Convert ftrace_regression01.sh to C. This test checks for kernel
panic when using userstacktrace with page fault events.

The C version improves upon the shell version by:
- Properly checking file existence before access
- Reporting TCONF when features are unavailable
- Supporting both exceptions:page_fault_kernel and
  kmem:mm_kernel_pagefault events

This fixes issues seen on kernel 6.12+ and 6.18.1+ where the
shell version would fail with file access errors.

Fixes: #1282

+ * [Description]
+ *
+ * Test for kernel panic while using userstacktrace.
+ *
+ * This is a regression test for a kernel bug where enabling userstacktrace
+ * along with page fault events could cause a kernel panic:
+ *
+ * - BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request
+ * - Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted
+ *
+ * The bug was fixed by commit 1dbd195 (tracing: Fix preempt count leak)
+ *
+ * [Algorithm]
+ *
+ * 1. Enable stack tracer
+ * 2. Enable userstacktrace option
+ * 3. Enable page fault events (either exceptions:page_fault_kernel or
+ *    kmem:mm_kernel_pagefault depending on kernel version)
+ * 4. Repeat multiple times to trigger the issue
+ * 5. System should not panic
