I wonder if we could put .bt files somewhere to make them available. In
root causing this bug bpftrace scripting was the key so it would nice to
have them available along with kselftest.

I could imagine that we end up also in future to bugs allocation so
it would have the script when you clone the kernel tree, and possibly
more scripts in future.

E.g. add bt/alloc-error.bt under tools/testing/selftests/sgx.
