selftests/bpf: Test racing between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free and bpf_timer_cancel

This selftest is based on a Alexei's test adopted from an internal
user to troubleshoot another bug. During this exercise, a separate
racing bug was discovered between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
and bpf_timer_cancel. The details can be found in the previous
patch.

This patch is to add a selftest that can trigger the bug.
I can trigger the UAF everytime in my qemu setup with KASAN. The idea
is to have multiple user space threads running in a tight loop to exercise
both bpf_map_update_elem (which calls into bpf_timer_cancel_and_free)
and bpf_timer_cancel.
