Yeah, a bit. I was considering to either switch to bpf_core_read()
with explicit sizeof or making bpf_core_read() deriving sizeof(), but
didn't because:

1. wanted to keep bpf_core_read() a direct "substitute" for bpf_probe_read()
2. figured one copy-pasted #define for each of few files is small
enough price for much more readable tests

Thanks for review!
