[PATCH] ftrace/selftests: Add softlink to latest log directory

[PATCH] ftrace/selftests: Add softlink to latest log directory

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When I'm debugging something with the ftrace selftests and need to look at
the logs, it becomes tedious that I need to do the following:

 ls -ltr logs
 [ copy the last directory ]
 ls logs/<paste-last-dir>

to see where the logs are.

Instead, do the common practice of having a "latest" softlink to the last
run selftest. This way after running the selftest I only need to do:

 ls logs/latest/

and it will always give me the directory of the last run selftest logs!

Nice! I like this and this looks good to me.

Looks like it is a self contained patch.  I will take it.
