Buglink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814234
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
* This test can fail selftest on various test hosts in our testing
  infrastructure forcing us to keep hinting releases. This leads to
  maintenance burden for a test that is unreliable as it depends on the
  context of the running host.
[Fix]
* Force-pass the test included by upstream in
  0b63accf87225b5eb7e52814c374cf02d733d4bb. We have chosen to keep this
  test but to force its result unconditionally successful as opposed to
  reverting the aforementioned commit because:
  1. it keeps running the test with results and data that we can use in
     the future for any "smarter" way to deal with it - eg. statistical
     approach
  2. it minimizes the maintenance burden of this patch kept in our
     kernel trees
[Test Plan]
* It was tested in clean VMs.
[Where problems could occur]
* No regression expected and the scope is in this specific selftest.
v2:
* fix Buglink reference
