selftests/bpf: Make bpf get_preempt_count() work for v6.14+ kernels
Recent x86 kernels export __preempt_count as a ksym, while some old kernels
between v6.1 and v6.14 expose the preemption counter via
pcpu_hot.preempt_count. The existing selftest helper unconditionally
dereferenced __preempt_count, which breaks BPF program loading on such old
kernels.
Make the x86 preemption count lookup version-agnostic by:
- Marking __preempt_count and pcpu_hot as weak ksyms.
- Introducing a BTF-described pcpu_hot___local layout with
preserve_access_index.
- Selecting the appropriate access path at runtime using ksym availability
and bpf_ksym_exists() and bpf_core_field_exists().
This allows a single BPF binary to run correctly across kernel versions
(e.g., v6.18 vs. v6.13) without relying on compile-time version checks.
