tracing: Build event generation tests only as modules
[ Upstream commit 3572bd5689b0812b161b40279e39ca5b66d73e88 ]
The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.
If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

And also, since we can not cleanup dynamic_event file, ftracetest are
failed too.
To avoid these issues, build these tests only as modules.
