selftests/bpf: Fix backtrace printing for selftests crashes

test_progs uses glibc specific functions backtrace() and
backtrace_symbols_fd() to print backtrace in case of SIGSEGV.

Recent commit (see fixes) updated test_progs.c to define stub versions
of the same functions with attriubte "weak" in order to allow linking
test_progs against musl libc. Unfortunately this broke the backtrace
handling for glibc builds.

As it turns out, glibc defines backtrace() and backtrace_symbols_fd()
as weak:

  $ llvm-readelf --symbols /lib64/libc.so.6 \
     | grep -P '( backtrace_symbols_fd| backtrace)$'
  4910: 0000000000126b40   161 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    16 backtrace
  6843: 0000000000126f90   852 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    16 backtrace_symbols_fd

So does test_progs:

 $ llvm-readelf --symbols test_progs \
    | grep -P '( backtrace_symbols_fd| backtrace)$'
  2891: 00000000006ad190    15 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    13 backtrace
 11215: 00000000006ad1a0    41 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    13 backtrace_symbols_fd

In such situation dynamic linker is not obliged to favour glibc
implementation over the one defined in test_progs.

Compiling with the following simple modification to test_progs.c
demonstrates the issue:

  $ git diff
  ...
  \--- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs.c
  \+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs.c
  \@@ -1817,6 +1817,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv)
          if (err)
                  return err;

  +       *(int *)0xdeadbeef  = 42;
          err = cd_flavor_subdir(argv[0]);
          if (err)
                  return err;

  $ ./test_progs
  [0]: Caught signal #11!
  Stack trace:
  <backtrace not supported>
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Resolve this by hiding stub definitions behind __GLIBC__ macro check
instead of using "weak" attribute.
