This isn't a bug, but since only progs/rhtab_kptr.c uses RHTAB_MAGIC,
could the define live in that file instead of a separate _common.h
header?
The *_common.h idiom at the selftests root is for constants that
genuinely have to be identical on both the BPF and the userspace side.
Here the userspace side never includes the header and never uses
RHTAB_MAGIC. Moving the define into progs/rhtab_kptr.c next to struct
val_t would avoid relying on the root directory being on the include
path for .bpf.o builds, and root-level headers are not listed in the
.bpf.o prerequisites, so edits to the header do not trigger a rebuild.
