Subject: [PATCH v2] perf test tsc: Fix error message report when not supported.

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message
when child process detected kernel does not support. Instead, child
process print error message to stderr, unfortunately the stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.

This patch did three things:
- returns TEST_SKIP to parent process instead of TEST_OK when
perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.
- add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
- extended test suite definition to contain above two subtests.

Changes since v1 (thanks for the feedback from Adrian Hunter):
- rebase commit to current source.

The 2nd test case runs anyway, so I am not sure another
test case is needed?

Yes. But, I think there are two reasons to add two subtests: 1).
Original TSC support test is embedded in test__perf_time_to_tsc(), and
returns TEST_SKIP
if current architecture doesn't support it. Thus there are two places
that return TEST_SKIP in test__perf_time_to_tsc() if we don't move TSC
support
to another subtest. 2). Current test_suite and test_case structs don't
support printing skip_reason if there is no subtest. To print skip
reason we need more than 1 subtests.

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message
when the child process detected kernel does not support. Instead,
the child process print error message to stderr, unfortunately
the stderr is redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.

This patch did three things:
- returns TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.
- add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
TEST_SKIP by doing this.
- extended test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing
skip reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip
reason, it is necessary to extend current test suite definition.

Changes since v2:
- refine error message format.
- refine commit log message according to Adrian's review comments.

Changes since v1 (thanks for the feedback from Adrian Hunter):
- rebase commit to current source.

It is better to try to consistently use the same email address
for the same person for git logs, unless you have a sensible
reason not to.

So in this case it looks like you should use the same email
address for the "From:" and "Signed-off-by:". Note you can
optionally put the "From:" line before the commit message e.g.

From: Chengdong Li <[email protected]>

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message
...


Otherwise you can add:
