selftests/bpf: test case for callback_depth states pruning logic



The test case was minimized from mailing list discussion [0].
It is equivalent to the following C program:

    struct iter_limit_bug_ctx { __u64 a; __u64 b; __u64 c; };

    static __naked void iter_limit_bug_cb(void)
    {
    	switch (bpf_get_prandom_u32()) {
    	case 1:  ctx->a = 42; break;
    	case 2:  ctx->b = 42; break;
    	default: ctx->c = 42; break;
    	}
    }

    int iter_limit_bug(struct __sk_buff *skb)
    {
    	struct iter_limit_bug_ctx ctx = { 7, 7, 7 };

    	bpf_loop(2, iter_limit_bug_cb, &ctx, 0);
    	if (ctx.a == 42 && ctx.b == 42 && ctx.c == 7)
    	  asm volatile("r1 /= 0;":::"r1");
    	return 0;
    }

The main idea is that each loop iteration changes one of the state
variables in a non-deterministic manner. Hence it is premature to
prune the states that have two iterations left comparing them to
states with one iteration left.
E.g. {{7,7,7}, callback_depth=0} can reach state {42,42,7},
while {{7,7,7}, callback_depth=1} can't.
