perf build: Move BPF skeleton generation out of Makefile.perf
Currently, the top-level Makefile.perf defines a massive global bpf-skel
umbrella target that pre-compiles all 12+ BPF skeletons (%.skel.h) upfront
before launching sub-makes. This forces unrelated sub-makes to serialize
behind bpftool and clang BPF target evaluations, causing parallel build
bottlenecks.
Furthermore, bench_uprobe.bpf.c lived inside util/bpf_skel/, breaking
conceptual directory encapsulation since it is consumed purely by
bench/uprobe.c.
Refactor the BPF skeletons to better achieve directory isolation:
1. Move tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bench_uprobe.bpf.c directly into
tools/perf/bench/bpf_skel/.
2. Extract the skeleton generation infrastructure out of Makefile.perf into
a shared inclusion file tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak.
3. Include bpf_skel.mak locally inside tools/perf/util/Build and
tools/perf/bench/Build and bind precise local prerequisites.
4. Safely synchronize the shared bpftool bootstrap and vmlinux.h targets
via the conditional prepare: umbrella to avoid parallel sub-make races,
while evaluating the actual skeletons completely locally on demand. A
later patch will move these targets into bpf_skel.mak.
5. Export CLANG from the global Makefile to ensure accurate tool
propagation.
6. Clean up Makefile.perf by stripping the global bpf-skel umbrella target
and its SKELETONS list.
While removing code from Makefile.perf generally helps build
performance, the impact here is minimal. The main motivation for the
change is to better encapsulate things in the build and simplify
Makefile.perf that has around 50 lines removed.
