bpf: Fix uninitialized values in BPF_{CORE,PROBE}_READ

With the latest LLVM bpf selftests build will fail with
the following error message:

    progs/profiler.inc.h:710:31: error: default initialization of an object of type 'typeof ((parent_task)->real_cred->uid.val)' (aka 'const unsigned int') leaves the object uninitialized and is incompatible with C++ [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-unsafe]
      710 |         proc_exec_data->parent_uid = BPF_CORE_READ(parent_task, real_cred, uid.val);
          |                                      ^
    tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:520:35: note: expanded from macro 'BPF_CORE_READ'
      520 |         ___type((src), a, ##__VA_ARGS__) __r;                               \
          |                                          ^

This happens because BPF_CORE_READ (and other macro) declare the
variable __r using the ___type macro which can inherit const modifier
from intermediate types.

Fix this by using __typeof_unqual__, when supported. (And when it
is not supported, the problem shouldn't appear, as older compilers
haven't complained.)

Fixes: a4b09a9ef945 ("libbpf: Add non-CO-RE variants of BPF_CORE_READ() macro family")
