selftests/bpf: Reject refcount acquisition after RCU unlock

Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a refcount-only local kptr in an
explicit RCU read-side critical section, ends the section, and passes the
pointer to bpf_refcount_acquire().

The loaded pointer never carries NON_OWN_REF. After RCU unlock it retains
MEM_ALLOC while becoming PTR_UNTRUSTED, which previously made the kfunc
argument check accept it as a live allocated object. Expect verification to
reject the untrusted argument instead.
