selftests/bpf: add reproducer for spurious precision propagation through calls

Add a test for the scenario described in the previous commit:
an iterator loop with two paths where one ties r2/r7 via
shared scalar id and skips a call, while the other goes
through the call. Precision marks from the linked registers
get spuriously propagated to the call path via
propagate_precision(), hitting "backtracking call unexpected
regs" in backtrack_insn().
