[PATCH bpf-next v2] selftests/bpf: Fix conflicts with built-in functions in bpf_iter_ksym

[James Hilliard]

Both tolower and toupper are built in c functions, we should not
redefine them as this can result in a build error.

Fixes the following errors:
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:10:20: error: conflicting types for built-in function 'tolower'; expected 'int(int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
   10 | static inline char tolower(char c)
      |                    ^~~~~~~
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:5:1: note: 'tolower' is declared in header '<ctype.h>'
    4 | #include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
  +++ |+#include <ctype.h>
    5 |
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:17:20: error: conflicting types for built-in function 'toupper'; expected 'int(int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
   17 | static inline char toupper(char c)
      |                    ^~~~~~~
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:17:20: note: 'toupper' is declared in header '<ctype.h>'

See background on this sort of issue:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/20582607
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12213

(C99, 7.1.3p1) "All identifiers with external linkage in any of the
following subclauses (including the future library directions) are
always reserved for use as identifiers with external linkage."

This is documented behavior in GCC:
