Re: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 4/7] libbpf: use static const fmt string in __bpf_printk

The __bpf_printk convenience macro was using a 'char' fmt string holder
as it predates support for globals in libbpf. Move to more efficient
'static const char', but provide a fallback to the old way via
BPF_NO_GLOBAL_DATA so users on old kernels can still use the macro.

The reference_tracking prog test is failing as a result of this.
Specifically, it fails to load bpf_sk_lookup_test0 prog, which 
has a bpf_printk:

  47: (b4) w3 = 0
  48: (18) r1 = 0x0
  50: (b4) w2 = 7
  51: (85) call bpf_trace_printk#6
  R1 type=inv expected=fp, pkt, pkt_meta, map_key, map_value, mem, rdonly_buf, rdwr_buf

Setting BPF_NO_GLOBAL_DATA in the test results in a pass
