Venkat reported a compilation error for BPF selftests on PowerPC [0].
The crux of the error is the following message:
In file included from progs/arena_spin_lock.c:7:
/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_arena_spin_lock.h:122:8:
error: member reference base type '__attribute__((address_space(1)))
u32' (aka '__attribute__((address_space(1))) unsigned int') is not a
structure or union
122 | old = atomic_read(&lock->val);
This is because PowerPC overrides the qspinlock type changing the
lock->val member's type from atomic_t to u32.
To remedy this, import the asm-generic version in the arena spin lock
header, name it __qspinlock (since it's aliased to arena_spinlock_t, the
actual name hardly matters), and adjust the selftest to not depend on
the type in vmlinux.h.

Add some basic selftests for qspinlock built over BPF arena using
cond_break_label macro.
