[PATCH v1 4/4] selftests/ftrace: Add persistent ring buffer testcases

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <[email protected]>

Add test cases for persistent ring buffer (reserve_mem= combined
with trace_instance=) and backup instance (trace_instance=backup=boot_map).

These test cases verify:
 - persistent-01-reserve-mem: Memory reservation via reserve_mem=
   and trace_instance=boot_map@trace. Verifies trace data retention in
   the boot_map instance across guest crash/reboot via sysrq-trigger.
 - persistent-02-backup-instance: Backup instance creation via
   trace_instance=backup=boot_map. Verifies that previous boot trace
   log is preserved in the backup instance on the subsequent boot.

These test cases specify '# REBOOT: 1' to enable multi-boot guest
crash/reboot testing with doubled QEMU timeout.
