Subject: [PATCH drivers/misc v5.5] lkdtm/bugs: Make double-fault test always
 available

Adjust the DOUBLE_FAULT test to always be available (so test harnesses
don't have to make exceptions more missing tests), and for the
arch-specific tests to "XFAIL" so that test harnesses can reason about
expected vs unexpected failures.

Fixes: b09511c253e5 ("lkdtm: Add a DOUBLE_FAULT crash type on x86")
Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

Hi Greg, this is intended for v5.5 drivers/misc as I consider it a bug fix.
