selftests/bpf: fix "metadata marker" getting overwritten by the netstack


Alexei noticed xdp_do_redirect test on BPF CI started failing on
BE systems after skb PP recycling was enabled:

test_xdp_do_redirect:PASS:prog_run 0 nsec
test_xdp_do_redirect:PASS:pkt_count_xdp 0 nsec
test_xdp_do_redirect:PASS:pkt_count_zero 0 nsec
test_xdp_do_redirect:FAIL:pkt_count_tc unexpected pkt_count_tc: actual
220 != expected 9998
test_max_pkt_size:PASS:prog_run_max_size 0 nsec
test_max_pkt_size:PASS:prog_run_too_big 0 nsec
close_netns:PASS:setns 0 nsec
 #289 xdp_do_redirect:FAIL
Summary: 270/1674 PASSED, 30 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED

and it doesn't happen on LE systems.
Ilya then hunted it down to:

 #0  0x0000000000aaeee6 in neigh_hh_output (hh=0x83258df0,
skb=0x88142200) at linux/include/net/neighbour.h:503
 #1  0x0000000000ab2cda in neigh_output (skip_cache=false,

 #2  ip6_finish_output2 (net=net@entry=0x88edba00, sk=sk@entry=0x0,

 #3  0x0000000000ab4cbc in __ip6_finish_output (skb=0x88142200, sk=0x0,
net=0x88edba00) at linux/net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:195
 #4  ip6_finish_output (net=0x88edba00, sk=0x0, skb=0x88142200) at
linux/net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:206

xdp_do_redirect test places a u32 marker (0x42) right before the Ethernet
header to check it then in the XDP program and return %XDP_ABORTED if it's
not there. Neigh xmit code likes to round up hard header length to speed
up copying the header, so it overwrites two bytes in front of the Eth
header. On LE systems, 0x42 is one byte at `data - 4`, while on BE it's
`data - 1`, what explains why it happens only there.
It didn't happen previously due to that %XDP_PASS meant the page will be
discarded and replaced by a new one, but now it can be recycled as well,
while bpf_test_run code doesn't reinitialize the content of recycled
pages. This mark is limited to this particular test and its setup though,
so there's no need to predict 1000 different possible cases. Just move
it 4 bytes to the left, still keeping it 32 bit to match on more bytes.
