The test_vmlinux test uses hrtimer_nanosleep as hook to test tracing programs. But it seems Clang may have done an aggressive optimization, causing fentry and kprobe to not hook on this function properly on a Clang build kernel.
A possible fix is switching to use a more reliable function, e.g. the ones exported to kernel modules such as hrtimer_range_start_ns. After we switch to using hrtimer_range_start_ns, the test passes again even on a clang build kernel.
Tested: In a clang build kernel, the test fail even when the flags {fentry, kprobe}_called are set unconditionally in handle__kprobe() and handle__fentry(), which implies the programs do not hook on hrtimer_nanosleep() properly. This could be because clang's code transformation is too aggressive.

After we switch to hrtimer_range_start_ns, the test passes.
