selftests/bpf: filter by pid to avoid cross-test interference

Browse source

The test installs a kprobe on __sys_connect and checks that
bpf_probe_write_user() can modify the syscall argument. However, any
concurrent thread in any other test that calls connect() will also
trigger the kprobe and have its sockaddr silently overwritten, causing
flaky failures in unrelated tests.

Constrain the hook to the current test process by filtering on a PID
stored as a global variable in .bss. Initialize the .bss value from
user space before bpf_object__load() using bpf_map__set_initial_value(),
and validate the bss map value size to catch layout mismatches.

No new map is introduced and the test keeps the existing non-skeleton
flow.
