kgdbts do_fork and sys_open tests are scheduled before mark_rodata_ro gets called when kgdbts is run on boot. But, the breakpoint is removed by a kernel thread which may be scheduled after mark_rodata_ro is called. So, this will cause the below kernel panic:

Disable do_fork and sys_open tests on boot, but they still can be run after the system is bootup.
