da85d8bfd1 kselftests/bpf: use ping6 as the default ipv6 ping binary when it exists
At commit deee2cae27 ("kselftests/bpf: use ping6 as the default ipv6 ping
binary if it exists"), it fixed similar issues for shell script, but it
missed a same issue in the C code.

371e4fcc9d selftests/bpf: cgroup local storage-based network counters
This commit adds a bpf kselftest, which demonstrates how percpu
and shared cgroup local storage can be used for efficient lookup-free
network accounting.

Cgroup local storage provides generic memory area with a very efficient
lookup free access. To avoid expensive atomic operations for each
packet, per-cpu cgroup local storage is used. Each packet is initially
charged to a per-cpu counter, and only if the counter reaches certain
value (32 in this case), the charge is moved into the global atomic
counter. This allows to amortize atomic operations, keeping reasonable
accuracy.

The test also implements a naive network traffic throttling, mostly to
demonstrate the possibility of bpf cgroup--based network bandwidth
control.

Expected output:
  ./test_netcnt
  test_netcnt:PASS
