[T58] kallsyms_selftest: finish

Functions kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol()
call the user-registered hook function for each symbol that meets the
requirements. Because it is uncertain how long that hook function will
execute, they call cond_resched() to avoid consuming CPU resources for a
long time. However, irqs need to be disabled during the performance test
to ensure the accuracy of test data. Because the performance test hook is
very clear, very simple function, let's do not call cond_resched() when
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.
I don't think it is appropriate to change the behaviour of a core 
function based on whether a compile time option related to tests is 
selected or not, because you will change the behaviour for all users, 
not only for the tests.

If the problem is that IRQs are disabled, maybe the solution is

	if (!irqs_disabled())
		cond_resched();

Or try to disable the call to cond_resched() in a way or another during 
the run of selftests.
