selftests/bpf: Check syscall helpers in timer callbacks

Browse source

A BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL program is sleepable, but its bpf_timer callbacks
run in a non-sleepable hrtimer softirq context.

Add verifier cases that call bpf_sys_bpf() and bpf_sys_close() from timer
callbacks. Without the syscall helper prototype annotations these programs
load, so their failure expectations expose the bug.

Also add successful controls that call each helper from the syscall program
main body, ensuring that the intended sleepable use remains accepted.
