use_file_dynptr_slice_after_put_file() reads the dynptr via bpf_dynptr_data(), which always returns NULL for a read-only file dynptr, making the example confusing. Switch to bpf_dynptr_slice(), the correct read API for file dynptrs, and read (rather than write) the slice since it is read-only. The test still fails as expected.
