[PATCH bpf v3 1/2] bpf: allow UTF-8 literals in bpf_bprintf_prepare()

[Yihan Ding <dingyihan@uniontech.com>]

bpf_bprintf_prepare() only needs ASCII parsing for conversion
specifiers. Plain text can safely carry bytes >= 0x80, so allow
UTF-8 literals outside '%' sequences while keeping ASCII control
bytes rejected and format specifiers ASCII-only.

This keeps existing parsing rules for format directives unchanged,
while allowing helpers such as bpf_trace_printk() to emit UTF-8
literal text.

Update test_snprintf_negative() in the same commit so selftests keep
matching the new plain-text vs format-specifier split during bisection.

Fixes: 48cac3f4a96d ("bpf: Implement formatted output helpers with bstr_printf")
