Building selftests with
clang 23.0.0 (6fae863eba8a72cdd82f37e7111a46a70be525e0) triggers
the following error:

  tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/fexit_bpf2bpf.c:117:12:
  error: assigning to 'char *' from 'const char *' discards qualifiers
  [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]

The variable `tgt_name` is declared as `char *`, but it stores the
result of strstr(prog_name[i], "/"). Since `prog_name[i]` is a
`const char *`, the returned pointer should also be treated as
const-qualified.

Update `tgt_name` to `const char *` to match the type of the underlying
string and silence the compiler warning.
