Just more explicitness (if desired). Normally __success would be
augmented by __msg() or __retval(). I'd feel uncomfortable just
silently skipping programs that are not marked with __success, as it
would be too easy to accidentally forget to add it and not know that
the BPF program is not tested.

I'd say that RUN_TESTS-based programs should be kept separate from any
other BPF programs that have a custom user-space testing part, though.

About the patch itself. I don't really see much point in adding
*_KFUNC_LOAD_TEST macros. They are used once or twice in total, while
obscuring *what* is actually being tested. Unless you expect to add 5+
more copies of them, I'd just inline them explicitly.
