This patch adds selftests to cover invalid narrower loads on the context. These used to cause kernel warnings before the previous patch. To trigger the warning, the load had to be aligned, to read an affected context field (ex., skb->sk), and not starting at the beginning of the field. The nine new cases all fail without the previous patch.

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.
