[RFC][PATCH 4/4] selftests/bpf: Support testing the !MODULES case

[Calvin Owens <jcalvinowens@xxxxxxxxx>]

This symlinks bpf_testmod into the main source, so it can be built-in
for running selftests in the new !MODULES case.

To be clear, no changes to the existing selftests are required: this
only exists to enable testing the new case which was not previously
possible. I'm sure somebody will be able to suggest a less ugly way I
can do this...
