smp: skip test on live systems

This should have been done a while ago. The "smp" corelens module already disallows running on live systems. IPIs fly too fast for us to keep up in userspace, so running the full module tends to cause issues. In this case, the specific issue had to do with unwinding the stack on the running task, which raises an error in drgn. Orabug: 37296325 Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan <[email protected]>
