I didn't change the ksft_print_header() code, in case you want it back
in the future. But nothing sets that variable any more in my series:

$ git grep KSFT_TAP_LEVEL
tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h: if (!(getenv("KSFT_TAP_LEVEL")))

I don't see the timers tests using print_header() at all, actually...

$ cd tools/testing/kselftest/timers
$ git grep print_header | wc -l
0
