[ Upstream commit dfdd608c3b365f0fd49d7e13911ebcde06b9865b ]

Add a regression test that ensures that a VAR pointing at a modifier which follows a PTR (or STRUCT or ARRAY) is resolved correctly by the datasec validator.

Hi Sasha,

Can you explain why this patch was selected? I'd prefer to not backport the test, since it frequently leads to breakage when trying to build selftests/bpf on stable kernels.

Thanks Lorenz
