Global variables of special types (like `struct bpf_spin_lock`) make
underlying ARRAY maps non-mmapable. To make this work with libbpf's
mmaping logic, application is expected to declare such special variables
as static, so libbpf doesn't even attempt to mmap() such ARRAYs.
test_spin_lock_fail.c didn't follow this rule, but given it relied on
this test to trigger failures, this went unnoticed, as we never got to
the step of mmap()'ing these ARRAY maps.
It is fragile and relies on specific sequence of libbpf steps, which are
an internal implementation details.
Fix the test by marking lockA and lockB as static.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
