BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812809

== Justification ==
When running the ftrace in ubunut_kernel_selftests, the "Kprobe event
argument syntax" will fail on Bionic PowerPC.

This is because PowerPC was not supported by this test.

== Fix ==
9855c462 (selftests/ftrace: Add ppc support for kprobe args tests)
This patch can be cherry-picked for Bionic and Xenial.

Although we don't run this ftrace test in Xenial, it will still be a
plus to fix this.

It's already been applied in C/D.

== Test ==
Patch tested with Bionic P8. Test passed as expected:
[23] Kprobe event argument syntax	[PASS]

== Regression potential ==
None.
This patch is just for the kernel testing tool.
