Thanks for taking a look, Daniel!

I looked into this a bit more. Unfortunately, bpf_test_finish unconditionally
copies data_size_out back into the uattr, even if data_out is NULL.
(net/bpf/test_run.c:180)

This makes the ergonomics of reusing the same topts struct for multiple
bpf_prog_test_run calls pretty horrendous - you'd need to clear data_size_out
before every call, even if you don't care about it otherwise (and you don't, you
didn't set data_out!).

In practicality, adding the logic from _xattr to _opts results in a significant
number of test failures. I'm a bit worried it might break libbpf users if they
use similar opts reuse patterns.

Will do!
