selftests/bpf: Fix strobemeta selftest regression

After most recent nightly Clang update strobemeta selftests started
failing with the following error (relevant portion of assembly included):

  1624: (85) call bpf_probe_read_user_str#114
  1625: (bf) r1 = r0
  1626: (18) r2 = 0xfffffffe
  1628: (5f) r1 &= r2
  1629: (55) if r1 != 0x0 goto pc+7
  1630: (07) r9 += 104
  1631: (6b) *(u16 *)(r9 +0) = r0
  1632: (67) r0 <<= 32
  1633: (77) r0 >>= 32
  1634: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -456)
  1635: (0f) r1 += r0
  1636: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -456) = r1
  1637: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -368)
  1638: (c5) if r1 s< 0x1 goto pc+778
  1639: (bf) r6 = r8
  1640: (0f) r6 += r7
  1641: (b4) w1 = 0
  1642: (6b) *(u16 *)(r6 +108) = r1
  1643: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r10 -352)
  1644: (79) r9 = *(u64 *)(r10 -456)
  1645: (bf) r1 = r9
  1646: (b4) w2 = 1
  1647: (85) call bpf_probe_read_user_str#114

  R1 unbounded memory access, make sure to bounds check any such access

In the above code r0 and r1 are implicitly related. Clang knows that,
but verifier isn't able to infer this relationship.

Yonghong Song narrowed down this "regression" in code generation to
a recent Clang optimization change ([0]), which for BPF target generates
code pattern that BPF verifier can't handle and loses track of register
boundaries.

This patch works around the issue by adding an BPF assembly-based helper
that helps to prove to the verifier that upper bound of the register is
a given constant by controlling the exact share of generated BPF
instruction sequence. This fixes the immediate issue for strobemeta
selftest.
