The original test was attempting to crash the kernel by setting a
breakpoint on do_debug kernel function which, when triggered, caused an
infinite loop in the kernel. The problem with this approach is that
kernel internal function names are not stable at all and the name was
changed recently, which made the test fail for no good reason.
So this patch changes the test to read the breakpoint address back
instead, which also means that we can drop the /proc/kallsyms parsing as
well.

Hi, Cyril.
This is failing on our 4.4 and 4.15 kernels, though they passed with the
previous test and have commit f67b15037a7a applied.
So, this is dependent on some other behavior/commit that has changed. It passes
on 5.4, for example. I'll try to investigate further.
Cascardo.
