Steven Rostedt b9ef0326c0 tracing: Move postpone selftests to core from early_initcall
I hit the following lockdep splat when booting with ftrace selftests
enabled, as well as CONFIG_PREEMPT and LOCKDEP.

 Testing dynamic ftrace ops #1:
 (1 0 1 0 0)
 (1 1 2 0 0)
 (2 1 3 0 169)
 (2 2 4 0 50066)

 ---[ end trace 5c3f4206ce50f6ac ]---

What happens is that the selftests include a creating of a dynamically
allocated ftrace_ops, which requires the use of synchronize_rcu_tasks()
which uses srcu, and triggers the above warning.

It appears that synchronize_rcu_tasks() is not set up at early_initcall(),
but it is at core_initcall(). By moving the tests down to that location
works out properly.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
