[PATCH v2] perf test: Skip Sigtrap test for arm+aarch64

[John Garry]

Skip the Sigtrap test for arm + arm64, same as was done for s390 in
commit a840974e96fd ("perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390"). For
this, reuse BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED - meaning that the arch can use BP to
generate signals - instead of BP_ACCOUNT_IS_SUPPORTED, which is
appropriate.

As described by Will at [0], in the test we get stuck in a loop of handling
the HW breakpoint exception and never making progress. GDB handles this
by stepping over the faulting instruction, but with perf the kernel is
expected to handle the step (which it doesn't for arm).

Dmitry made an attempt to get this work, also mentioned in the same thread
as [0], which was appreciated. But the best thing to do is skip the test
for now.
