Add test to check that the verifier is able to recognize spilling of

It would be nice to have some explanation of what the test does to
recognize the spilling of the PTR_TO_MEM registers in the commit
log as well.
Would it be possible to augment an existing test_progs
program like tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/test_ringbuf.c to test
this functionality?
How would you guarantee that LLVM generates the spill/fill, via inline asm?
It may be possible, but from what I understood from Daniel's comment here
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/17629073-4fab-a922-ecc3-25b019960f44@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
the test should be a part of the verifier tests (which is reasonable
to me since it is
a verifier bugfix)
Yeah, the test_verifier case as you have is definitely the most straight
forward way to add coverage in this case.
