When this was added in commit 131f840d5b7 ("selftests: ftrace:
Initialize ftrace before each test"), we had this:

+    echo > set_event_pid       # event tracer is always on
+    [ -f set_ftrace_filter ] && echo | tee set_ftrace_*
+    [ -f set_graph_function ] && echo | tee set_graph_*
+    [ -f stack_trace_filter ] && echo > stack_trace_filter
+    [ -f kprobe_events ] && echo > kprobe_events
+    [ -f uprobe_events ] && echo > uprobe_events

Where set_event_pid is the only file not tested for existence. I
figured that comment was the reason for not testing it. If that was the
case, then adding a test, I would think we should remove the comment.

Do you agree?
