tracing: Move postpone selftests to core from early_initcall
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I hit the following lockdep splat when booting with ftrace selftests
enabled, as well as CONFIG_PREEMPT and LOCKDEP.

 Testing dynamic ftrace ops #1:
 (1 0 1 0 0)
 (1 1 2 0 0)
 (2 1 3 0 169)
 (2 2 4 0 50066)

 ---[ end trace 5c3f4206ce50f6ac ]---

What happens is that the selftests include a creating of a dynamically
allocated ftrace_ops, which requires the use of synchronize_rcu_tasks()
which uses srcu, and triggers the above warning.

It appears that synchronize_rcu_tasks() is not set up at early_initcall(),
but it is at core_initcall(). By moving the tests down to that location
works out properly.
