== SRU Justification ==
A new timeout feature was added to kselftests in commit 852c8cbf
(selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second timeout per test)

However the ftrace test will take much longer than 45 seconds to run,
thus you will see it failed with:
   not ok 1 selftests: ftrace: ftracetest # TIMEOUT

== Fix ==
* 9fab89cc (tracing/selftests: Turn off timeout setting)

This patch will turn off the timeout setting for the ftrace test.
It can be cherry-picked into B/D/E/F, we don't run this test in X so it
can be skipped.

Note that we don't have 852c8cbf in B/D, but I think it's still OK to
fix them as the change is really small, and if they got that patch in
the future we don't need to look back on this.

== Test ==
Patch tested directly on KVM nodes. It works as expected.

== Regression Potential ==
Low, trivial change limited to testing tools.
