Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling as a perf tool built-in test.
This allows sanity checking the basic sigtrap functionality from within
the perf tool.
Works as root:

[root@five ~]# perf test sigtrap
73: Sigtrap                                                         : Ok
[root@five ~]

Not for !root:
[...]

FAILED sys_perf_event_open(): Permission denied
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sigtrap: FAILED!
Ah, that shouldn't be the case. It's missing exclude_kernel/hv, and this
test should work just fine as non-root. Please squash the below as well.
Let me know if you'd like a v2.
I'll squash

Ack for your change printing errors as well.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] fixup! perf test: Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling

Exclude kernel/hypervisor so the test can run as non-root.
