399f6185a1 selftests/bpf: Fix selftests broken by mitigations=off
When we configure the kernel command line with 'mitigations=off' and set
the sysctl knob 'kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled' to 0, the commit
bc5bc309db45 ("bpf: Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations")
causes issues in the execution of `test_progs -t verifier`. This is
because 'mitigations=off' bypasses Spectre v1 and Spectre v4 protections.

Currently, when a program requests to run in unprivileged mode
(kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0), the BPF verifier may prevent
it from running due to the following conditions not being enabled:

  - bypass_spec_v1
  - bypass_spec_v4
  - allow_ptr_leaks
  - allow_uninit_stack

While 'mitigations=off' enables the first two conditions, it does not
enable the latter two. As a result, some test cases in
'test_progs -t verifier' that were expected to fail to run may run
successfully, while others still fail but with different error messages.
This makes it challenging to address them comprehensively.

Moreover, in the future, we may introduce more fine-grained control over
CPU mitigations, such as enabling only bypass_spec_v1 or bypass_spec_v4.

Given the complexity of the situation, rather than fixing each broken test
case individually, it's preferable to skip them when 'mitigations=off' is
in effect and introduce specific test cases for the new 'mitigations=off'
scenario. For instance, we can introduce new BTF declaration tags like
'__failure__nospec', '__failure_nospecv1' and '__failure_nospecv4'.

In this patch, the approach is to simply skip the broken test cases when
'mitigations=off' is enabled. The result of `test_progs -t verifier` as
follows after this commit,

1d56ade032 selftests/bpf: Unprivileged tests for test_loader.c
Extends test_loader.c:test_loader__run_subtests() by allowing to
execute tests in unprivileged mode, similar to test_verifier.c.

Adds the following new attributes controlling test_loader behavior:

  __msg_unpriv
  __success_unpriv
  __failure_unpriv

* If any of these attributes is present the test would be loaded in
  unprivileged mode.
* If only "privileged" attributes are present the test would be loaded
  only in privileged mode.
* If both "privileged" and "unprivileged" attributes are present the
  test would be loaded in both modes.
* If test has to be executed in both modes, __msg(text) is specified
  and __msg_unpriv is not specified the behavior is the same as if
  __msg_unpriv(text) is specified.
* For test filtering purposes the name of the program loaded in
  unprivileged mode is derived from the usual program name by adding
  `@unpriv' suffix.

Also adds attribute '__description'. This attribute specifies text to
be used instead of a program name for display and filtering purposes.
