The trampoline reads the __arena flag from the btf_func_model per
argument but stores the ctx one register slot at a time, so the two only
line up if every preceding argument occupies exactly one slot. Every
arena-bearing member of bpf_testmod_ops3 takes single-slot arguments, so
nothing exercises the mapping and a mis-indexed arg_flags lookup would
go unnoticed on any architecture.

Add test_arena_multislot(), whose first argument is a 16-byte struct
passed by value. It fills ctx[0] and ctx[1], putting the arena pointer
at argument index one but slot two. The callback checks both halves of
the struct before dereferencing ctx[2], so a JIT that walks registers
instead of arguments converts the wrong slot and fails the test.

Add a test_arena_stack member with eight leading scalar arguments so the
arena pointer is passed on the stack.

The callback validates the first and last scalar ctx slots before
dereferencing the pointer in ctx[8]. This exercises the indirect
trampoline stack layout and arena conversion together, and prevents a
regression where stack arguments are read one slot late.

<title>selftests/bpf: Add struct_ops __arena and __arena__nullable argument tests</title>

Add test_arena and test_arena_nullable members to bpf_testmod_ops3 with
arena-tagged stub arguments and kfuncs that forward a caller-provided
pointer to them. The kfuncs take arena-tagged arguments, so each round
trip exercises both conversion directions end to end: the kfunc receives
a kernel arena address and the trampoline converts it back to an arena
pointer for the callback.

The non-nullable callback dereferences its argument with no NULL branch
and captures the raw ctx value, which the trigger program compares
against the arena offset of the passed object, pinning the exact
(u32)(kaddr - kern_vm_start) conversion. The nullable callback verifies
that only a true kernel NULL arrives as NULL. Failure coverage: a
program with no arena is rejected when it loads. The tests run on x86-64
and skip elsewhere, as the programs fail verification where the JIT
lacks arena argument support.
