[PATCH v3 4/4] selftests/bpf: Adjust wasted entries threshold for ARM64 BRBE

[Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org>]

The get_branch_snapshot test checks that bpf_get_branch_snapshot()
doesn't waste too many branch entries on infrastructure overhead. The
threshold of < 10 was calibrated for x86 where about 7 entries are
wasted.

On ARM64, the BPF trampoline generates more branches than x86,
resulting in about 13 wasted entries. The overhead comes from the BPF
trampoline calling __bpf_prog_enter_recur which on ARM64 makes
out-of-line calls to __rcu_read_lock and generates more conditional
branches than x86:

 [#12] bpf_testmod_loop_test+0x40    -> bpf_trampoline_...+0x48
 [#11] bpf_trampoline_...+0x68       -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x0
 [#10] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x20   -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x118
 [#09] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x154  -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x160
 [#08] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x164  -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x2c
 [#07] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x2c   -> __rcu_read_lock+0x0
 [#06] __rcu_read_lock+0x18          -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x30
 [#05] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x9c   -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0xf0
 [#04] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0xf4   -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0xa8
 [#03] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0xb8   -> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x100
 [#02] __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x114  -> bpf_trampoline_...+0x6c
 [#01] bpf_trampoline_...+0x78       -> bpf_prog_...test1+0x0
 [#00] bpf_prog_...test1+0x58        -> arm_brbe_snapshot_branch_stack+0x0

Use an architecture-specific threshold of < 14 for ARM64 to accommodate
this overhead while still detecting regressions.
