Subject: selftests/bpf: Add exception handling selftests for tp_bpf program
Patch-mainline: v5.17-rc1
Git-commit: c23551c9c36ae394f9c53a5adf1944a943c65e0b
References: jsc#PED-1368

Exception handling is triggered in BPF tracing programs when a NULL pointer
is dereferenced; the exception handler zeroes the target register and
execution of the BPF program progresses.

To test exception handling then, we need to trigger a NULL pointer dereference
for a field which should never be zero; if it is, the only explanation is the
exception handler ran. task->task_works is the NULL pointer chosen (for a new
task from fork() no work is associated), and the task_works->func field should
not be zero if task_works is non-NULL. The test verifies that task_works and
task_works->func are 0.
