[PATCH v5 9/9] selftests/ftrace: Walk up to find test.d/functions when a subdirectory is passed

[wen.yang@linux.dev]

From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>

When a test directory that does not itself contain test.d/functions is
passed to ftracetest (e.g. verification/test.d/tlob/), ftracetest fell
back to its own functions file and lost the rv-specific check_requires
handling for ':monitor' and ':reactor' requirements.

Walk up the directory tree from OPT_TEST_DIR until a directory containing
test.d/functions is found. This allows monitor subdirectories to be passed
directly as the test root without placing a functions shim in each one.

The RV verification suite uses this so that

  tools/testing/selftests/verification/test.d/tlob/run_tlob_tests.sh

can pass test.d/tlob/ to ftracetest and have it source
verification/test.d/functions (which understands ':monitor'/':reactor').
