Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] selftests/bpf: Force -O2 for USDT selftests to cover SIB handling logic

When using GCC on x86-64 to compile an usdt prog with -O1 or higher
optimization, the compiler will generate SIB addressing mode for global
array and PC-relative addressing mode for global variable,
e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)" and "-1@...1(%rip)".

In this patch:
- force -O2 optimization for usdt.test.o to generate SIB addressing usdt
  argument spec.
- change the global variable t1 to a local variable, to avoid compiler
  generating PC-relative addressing mode for it.
