As I mentioned on another patch, we probably need negative tests even
more than positive ones.

I think an easy and nice way to do this is to have a separate BPF
skeleton where fmt string and arguments are provided through read-only
global variables, so that user-space can re-use the same BPF skeleton
to simulate multiple cases. BPF program itself would just call
bpf_snprintf() and store the returned result.

Whether we need to validate the verifier log is up to debate (though
it's not that hard to do by overriding libbpf_print_fn() callback),
I'd be ok at least knowing that some bad format strings are rejected
and don't crash the kernel.
