When dropping a local kptr, any kptr stashed into it is supposed to be
freed through bpf_obj_free_fields->__bpf_obj_drop_impl recursively. Add a
test to make sure it happens.

The test first stashes a referenced kptr to "struct task" into a local
kptr and gets the reference count of the task. Then, it drops the local
kptr and reads the reference count of the task again. Since
bpf_obj_free_fields and __bpf_obj_drop_impl will go through the local kptr
recursively during bpf_obj_drop, the dtor of the stashed task kptr should
eventually be called. The second reference count should be one less than
the first one.
