selftests/bpf: Fix flaky test ptr_untrusted

Somehow recently I frequently hit the following test failure
with either ./test_progs or ./test_progs-cpuv4:
serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:skel_open 0 nsec
serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:lsm_attach 0 nsec
serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:raw_tp_attach 0 nsec
serial_test_ptr_untrusted:FAIL:cmp_tp_name unexpected cmp_tp_name: actual -115 != expected 0
#182 ptr_untrusted:FAIL

Further investigation found the failure is due to
bpf_probe_read_user_str()
where reading user-level string attr->raw_tracepoint.name
is not successfully, most likely due to the
string itself still in disk and not populated into memory yet.

One solution is do a printf() call of the string before doing bpf
syscall which will force the raw_tracepoint.name into memory.
But I think a more robust solution is to use bpf_copy_from_user()
which is used in sleepable program and can tolerate page fault,
and the fix here used the latter approach.

selftests/bpf: Add selftest for PTR_UNTRUSTED

Add a new selftest to check the PTR_UNTRUSTED condition. Below is the
result,

#160 ptr_untrusted:OK
