[PATCH bpf-next] selftests: Make sure all 'skel' variables are declared static

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

If programs in prog_tests using skeletons declare the 'skel' variable as
global but not static, that will lead to linker errors on the final link of
the prog_tests binary due to duplicate symbols. Fix a few instances of this.

Fixes: b18c1f0aa477 ("bpf: selftest: Adapt sock_fields test to use skel and global variables")
Fixes: 9a856cae2217 ("bpf: selftest: Add test_btf_skc_cls_ingress")

Thanks for the fix. Applied.
I wonder why we don't see it with different gcc and clang versions.
What linker do you use?
And what kind of error do you see?

You're welcome! And thanks :)

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well, actually...
