Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390

In Linux next kernel
Commit 5504f67944484 ("perf test sigtrap: Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling")
introduced the new test which uses breakpoint events.
These events are not supported on s390 and PowerPC and always fail:

 # perf test -F 73
 73: Sigtrap                                                         : FAILED!
 #

Fix it the same way as in the breakpoint tests in file
tests/bp_account.c where these type of tests are skipped on
s390 and PowerPC platforms.

With this patch skip this test on both platforms.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -F 73
 73: Sigtrap
