[PATCH] selftests: livepatch: use canonical ftrace path

[Fushuai Wang]

Since v4.1 kernel, a new interface for ftrace called "tracefs" was
introduced, which is usually mounted in /sys/kernel/tracing. Therefore,
tracing files can now be accessed via either the legacy path
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing or the newer path /sys/kernel/tracing.
