6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mohammad Abu-Khader <redacted>

[ Upstream commit dea754ded9518b51740c417d2c1e02ff540784c6 ]

`_list_tests()` runs the kernel to list tests, strips printk timestamp
lines via `extract_tap_lines()`, then drops the dummy TAP header from
the cleaned `lines`.  However the subsequent regex filter mistakenly
operates on the original `output` instead of the cleaned `lines`.  When
the kernel output includes timestamp prefixes (common with UML or slower
setups), e.g.:

  [    0.100000] suite.test1
  [    0.100000] suite.test2

the anchored regex `^[^\s.]+\.[^\s.]+$` rejects them and `--list_tests`
returns an empty list.

Filter `lines` instead of `output`, matching the behavior of the
adjacent `_list_tests_attr()` which already returns the cleaned list.

Add a regression test with timestamp-prefixed input to verify the fix.
