The netif_receive_skb BPF program used in snprintf_btf test still uses a custom __strncmp. This is unnecessary as the bpf_strncmp helper is available and provides the same functionality.
This commit refactors the test to use the bpf_strncmp helper, removing the redundant custom implementation.

I double checked that before acking, the test was added as a part of [1]. So it seems to be focused on bpf_snprintf_btf(), not on scalability. And it's not that heavy in terms of instructions budget:
File Program Verdict Insns States
netif_receive_skb.bpf.o trace_netif_receive_skb success 18152 629
Is this before or after? What is the % decrease in insn_processed? I'd like to better understand the impact of the change.
