Similarly toa0d7da26ce("libbpf: Fix call relocation offset calculation bug"), relocations against global variables need to take into account referenced symbol's st_value, which holds offset into a corresponding data section (and, subsequently, offset into internal backing map). For static variables this offset is always zero and data offset is completely described by respective instruction's imm field. Convert a bunch of selftests to global variables. Previously they were relying on `static volatile` trick to ensure Clang doesn't inline static variables, which with global variables is not necessary anymore.

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 Restructured Text 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.
