libbpf: bpf_test_run_opts has non-zero extra bytes

[liangcheng-yu]

Hi, I happened to setup uBPF on two different VMs, both with a clean Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS and the same clang version etc.
For VM1 it gave me 100% tests passed, while VM2 8 tests failed (iovisor/ubpf#266 (comment)).
Below are the details:

# The one with 100% tests passed
lc@vm1:~/ubpf$ sudo build/bin/bpf_conformance_runner --test_file_path tests/add.data --plugin_path build/external/bpf_conformance/bin/libbpf_plugin  --debug true
Test file: "tests/add.data"
Input memory:
Expected return value: 3
Expected error string:
Byte code: b4  00  00  00  00  00  00  00  b4  01  00  00  02  00  00  00  04  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  0c  10  00  00  00  00  00  00  95  00  00  00  00  00  00  00
Test "tests/add.data" succeeded
Test results:
PASS: "tests/add.data"
Passed 1 out of 1 tests.

For context, both VMs have the same clang, OS version, and apt show libbpf-dev prints, and I set up the environment with the same exact set up scripts and cmake build/test instructions
