[LTP PATCH v3 0/5] ftrace: Convert shell tests to C

This patch series converts the ftrace shell-based tests to C
implementation using LTP's new API, addressing GitHub issue #1282.

The conversion provides:
- Better integration with LTP framework
- Improved error handling and reporting
- More maintainable code structure
- Consistent test behavior across platforms

Changes in v3:
- Fixed tst_tmpdir_path() usage by adding .needs_tmpdir = 1 to all tests
- Removed incorrect CVE-2015-8550 tag from ftrace_regression01
- Fixed memory leak in TST_RETRY_FUNC usage by assigning to variable and freeing
- Changed [Algorithm] sections from numbered lists to bullet points (using '-')
- Added root requirement documentation to all test doc comments
- Fixed Makefile LDLIBS placement (moved before generic_leaf_target.mk include)
- Created .gitignore for new test binaries
- Removed deprecated [Description] header from ftrace_stress_test
- Deleted orphaned shell files that were replaced by C implementations

Changes in v2:
- Fixed TST_NO_DEFAULT_MAIN placement in ftrace_lib.c (before includes)
- Removed tst_test.h include from ftrace_lib.h (libraries shouldn't include it)
- Fixed include order in test files (tst_test.h before ftrace_lib.h)
- Added proper cleanup of allocated memory in tests
- Improved error messages and test documentation
- Fixed Makefile dependencies and library filtering

Testing:
All tests have been compiled and verified to work correctly on x86_64
and ppc64le systems with various kernel versions.

Praveen K Pandey (5):
  ftrace: Add common library for C implementation
  ftrace: Convert ftrace_regression01.sh to C
  ftrace: Convert ftrace_regression02.sh to C
  ftrace: Convert ftrace_stress_test.sh to C
  ftrace: Remove obsolete shell test files
