Exception handling is triggered in BPF tracing programs when a NULL pointer is dereferenced; the exception handler zeroes the target register and execution of the BPF program progresses. To test exception handling then, we need to trigger a NULL pointer dereference for a field which should never be zero; if it is, the only explanation is the exception handler ran. task->task_works is the NULL pointer chosen (for a new task from fork() no work is associated), and the task_works->func field should not be zero if task_works is non-NULL. The test verifies that task_works and task_works->func are 0.
