selftests: bpf: Add a test when bpf_probe_read_kernel_str() returns EFAULT

This commit tests previous fix of bpf_probe_read_kernel_str().

The BPF helper bpf_probe_read_kernel_str should return -EFAULT when
given a bad source pointer and the target buffer should only be modified
to make the string NULL terminated.

bpf_probe_read_kernel_str() was previously inserting a NULL before the
beginning of the dst buffer. This test should ensure that the
implementation stays correct for now on.

Without the fix, this test will fail as follows:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf
$ make
$ sudo ./test_progs --name=varlen
...
test_varlen:FAIL:check got 0 != exp 66

selftests/bpf: Make test_varlen work with 32-bit user-space arch

Despite bpftool generating data section memory layout that will work for
32-bit architectures on user-space side, BPF programs should be careful to not
use ambiguous types like `long`, which have different size in 32-bit and
64-bit environments. Fix that in test by using __u64 explicitly, which is
a recommended approach anyway.

selftests/bpf: Add variable-length data concat pattern less than test

Extend original variable-length tests with a case to catch a common
existing pattern of testing for < 0 for errors. Note because
verifier also tracks upper bounds and we know it can not be greater
than MAX_LEN here we can skip upper bound check.

In ALU64 enabled compilation converting from long->int return types
in probe helpers results in extra instruction pattern, <<= 32, s >>= 32.
The trade-off is the non-ALU64 case works. If you really care about
every extra insn (XDP case?) then you probably should be using original
int type.

In addition adding a sext insn to bpf might help the verifier in the
general case to avoid these types of tricks.

selftests/bpf: Add variable-length data concatenation pattern test

Add selftest that validates variable-length data reading and concatentation
with one big shared data array. This is a common pattern in production use for
monitoring and tracing applications, that potentially can read a lot of data,
but overall read much less. Such pattern allows to determine precisely what
amount of data needs to be sent over perfbuf/ringbuf and maximize efficiency.
