selftests/bpf: add bpf task work stress tests

Add stress tests for BPF task-work scheduling kfuncs. The tests spawn
multiple threads that concurrently schedule task_work callbacks against
the same and different map values to exercise the kfuncs under high
contention.
Verify callbacks are reliably enqueued and executed with no drops.
