SRU Justification:

[Impact]

* This test can fail selftest on various test hosts in our testing
  infrastructure forcing us to keep hinting releases. This leads to
  maintenance burden for a test that is unreliable as it depends on the
  context of the running host.

[Fix]

* Force-pass the test included by upstream in
  0b63accf87225b5eb7e52814c374cf02d733d4bb. We have chosen to keep this
  test but to force its result unconditionally successful as opposed to
  reverting the aforementioned commit because:
  1. it keeps running the test with results and data that we can use in
     the future for any "smarter" way to deal with it - eg. statistical
     approach
  2. it minimizes the maintenance burden of this patch kept in our
     kernel trees

[Test Plan]

* It was tested in clean VMs.

[Where problems could occur]

* No regression expected and the scope is in this specific selftest.
