bpf, doc: howto use/run the BPF selftests

Browse source 
I always forget howto run the BPF selftests. Thus, lets add that info
to the QA document.

Documentation was based on Cilium's documentation:

===============
Q: How to run BPF selftests
---------------------------
A: After you have booted into the newly compiled kernel, navigate to
the BPF selftests_ suite in order to test BPF functionality (current
working directory points to the root of the cloned git tree)::
$ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
$ make
To run the verifier tests::
$ sudo ./test_verifier
The verifier tests print out all the current checks being
performed. The summary at the end of running all tests will dump
information of test successes and failures::
Summary: 418 PASSED, 0 FAILED
In order to run through all BPF selftests, the following command is
needed::
$ sudo make run_tests
See the kernels selftest `Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst`_
document for further documentation.
Q: Which BPF kernel selftests version should I run my kernel against?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A: If you run a kernel ``xyz``, then always run the BPF kernel selftests
