ktest: Add CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD option
Currently the config_bisect compares the min config with the CONFIG_BISECT config. There may be another config that we know is good that we want to ignore configs on. By passing in this config it will ignore the options that are set in the good config. Note: This only ignores the config, it does not (yet) handle options that are different between the two configs. If the good config has "SLAB" set and the bad config has "SLUB" it will not find the bug if the bug had to do with changing these two options. This is something that I intend to implement in the future. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
