I was thinking of doing it with bpf_testmod, but then I realised it would be a
problem with parallel mode of test_progs, where another selftest in parallel may
rely on bpf_testmod (which this test would unload, load and make it fault, and
then fail the load before restoring it by loading again), so I went with
bpf_testmod.

Maybe we can hardcode a list of tests to be executed serially in --workers=n > 1
mode? All serial tests are then executed in the beginning (or end), and then it
starts invoking others in parallel as usual.
