perf tests ARM: Disable breakpoint tests 32-bit
The breakpoint tests on the ARM 32-bit kernel are broken in several ways. The breakpoint length requested does not necessarily match whether the function address has the Thumb bit (bit 0) set or not, and this does matter to the ARM kernel hw_breakpoint infrastructure. See [1] for background. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/15/205 As Will indicated, the overflow handling would require single-stepping which is not supported at the moment. Just disable those tests for the ARM 32-bit platforms and update the comment above to explain these limitations.
