[PATCH bpf-next v3] selftests/bpf: test access to ringbuf position with map pointer

[PATCH bpf-next v3] selftests/bpf: test access to ringbuf position with map pointer

[Menglong Dong]

Add the testing to access the bpf_ringbuf with the map pointer.
"consumer_pos" and "producer_pos" is accessed in this testing. We reserve
128 bytes in the ringbuf to test the producer_pos, which should be
"128 + BPF_RINGBUF_HDR_SZ".

It will be helpful if we want to evaluate the usage of the ringbuf in bpf
prog with the consumer and producer position.

v3:
- use BPF_RINGBUF_HDR_SZ instead of 8 in check_ringbuf()

v2:
- don't set the max_entries for the ringbuf map
- add comment for the producer_pos
