selftests/bpf: Introduce execution context detection helpers

Introduce bpf_in_nmi(), bpf_in_hardirq(), bpf_in_serving_softirq(), and
bpf_in_task() inline helpers in bpf_experimental.h. These allow BPF
programs to query the current execution context with higher granularity
than the existing bpf_in_interrupt() helper.

While BPF programs can often infer their context from attachment points,
subsystems like sched_ext may call the same BPF logic from multiple
contexts (e.g., task-to-task wake-ups vs. interrupt-to-task wake-ups).
These helpers provide a reliable way for logic to branch based on
the current CPU execution state.

Implementing these as BPF-native inline helpers wrapping
get_preempt_count() allows the compiler and JIT to inline the logic. The
implementation accounts for differences in preempt_count layout between
standard and PREEMPT_RT kernels.
