Re: [PATCH v8 2/9] selftests/livepatch: Adapt atomic replace tests to provides/obsoletes

The legacy "replace" field in struct klp_patch will be replaced by the
provides/obsoletes mechanism. As a result, the atomic replace
selftests fail to build against kernels that only support
provides/obsoletes.

Adapt the selftests so that they build and run on both old and new
kernels.  On kernels without the legacy "replace" support, the
replace-related test cases are skipped with a SKIP message instead
of being run.

The provides/obsoletes based selftests will be added later after the
provides/obsoletes are substituted.

Shall we add functions for code blocks inside

   if [[ "$HAS_PROVIDES_ATTR" != "1" ]]; then

etc.?

Other than this.
