[PATCH] [v6] fwts: skip the wake alarm suite if the feature is not implemented

The wake alarm may be not implemented on a non-x86 platform
thus the calls to the RTC alarm interface may legitimately
fail. Although the wake alarm test suite appears to antici-
pate this and skips the first test on a non-x86 platform if
fwts_wakealarm_get() fails, the subsequent tests fail in this
case, contrary to the error message printed in the non-x86
branch of the routine wakealarm_test1(). Here's an excerpt
from the FWTS results log obtained in such an environmemnt:

 wakealarm: ACPI Wakealarm tests.
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 Test 1 of 5: Test existence of RTC with alarm interface.
 Cannot read Real Time Clock Alarm with ioctl RTC_ALM_READ
 /dev/rtc0.
 non-x86 devices sometimes do not have an RTC wake alarm that
 is normally controlled by the RTC alarm ioctl() interface.
 This interface does not exist, so the wake alarm tests will
 be skipped.

 Test 2 of 5: Trigger wakealarm for 1 seconds in the future.
 Trigger wakealarm for 1 seconds in the future.
 Cannot enable alarm interrupts on Real Time Clock device
 /dev/rtc0.
 FAILED [MEDIUM] WakeAlarmNotTriggeredTest2: Test 2, RTC
 wakealarm did not trigger.

 Test 3 of 5: Test if wakealarm is fired.
 Cannot enable alarm interrupts on Real Time Clock device
 /dev/rtc0.
 FAILED [MEDIUM] WakeAlarmNotTriggeredTest3: Test 3, Failed
 to trigger and fire wakealarm.

 Test 4 of 5: Multiple wakealarm firing tests.
 Trigger wakealarm for 1 seconds in the future.
 Cannot enable alarm interrupts on Real Time Clock device
 /dev/rtc0.
 FAILED [MEDIUM] WakeAlarmNotTriggeredTest4: Test 4, Failed
 to trigger and fire wakealarm.

 Test 5 of 5: Reset wakealarm time.
 Cannot set Real Time Clock Alarm with ioctl RTC_ALM_SET /dev/rtc0.
 FAILED [MEDIUM] WakeAlarmNotResetTest5: Test 5, RTC wakealarm
 failed to be reset back to original time.

 =================================================================
 0 passed, 4 failed, 0 warning, 0 aborted, 0 skipped, 0 info only.
 =================================================================

This happens because the routine fwts_framework_run_test() stops
performing the suite only if its test returns FWTS_ABORTED or its
init callback returns FWTS_SKIP while neither is the case here.

The patch fixes the issue by introducing the initialization call-
back for the suite, the callback checks on a non-x86 platform whe-
ther the attribute 'wakealarm' of the device rtc0 is exposed via
sysfs; if the attribute is absent, then the suite will be skip-
ped. The wakealarm suite report looks as follows after the patch
is applied:

 wakealarm: ACPI Wakealarm tests.
 ------------------------------------------------------------
 Cannot read Real Time Clock Alarm with ioctl RTC_ALM_READ
 /dev/rtc0.
 non-x86 devices sometimes do not have an RTC wake alarm that
 is normally controlled by the RTC alarm ioctl() interface.
 This interface does not exist, so the wake alarm tests will
 be skipped.
 =================================================================
 0 passed, 0 failed, 0 warning, 0 aborted, 5 skipped, 0 info only.
