Subject: [PATCH bpf v2] selftests/bpf: Fix redefinition of 'off' as different kind of symbol

This fixes the following build error

   CLNG-BPF [test_progs] verifier_global_ptr_args.bpf.o
progs/verifier_global_ptr_args.c:228:5: error: redefinition of 'off' as
different kind of symbol
   228 | u32 off;
       |     ^

The symbol 'off' was previously defined in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h, which includes an
enum i40e_ptp_gpio_pin_state from
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c:

	enum i40e_ptp_gpio_pin_state {
		end = -2,
		invalid = -1,
		off = 0,
		in_A = 1,
		in_B = 2,
		out_A = 3,
		out_B = 4,
	};

This enum is included when CONFIG_I40E is enabled. As of commit
032676ff8217 ("LoongArch: Update Loongson-3 default config file"),
CONFIG_I40E is set in the defconfig, which leads to the conflict.

Renaming the local variable avoids the redefinition and allows the
build to succeed.
