selftests/bpf: Allow building with extra flags
In order to specify extra compilation or linking flags to BPF selftests,
it is possible to set EXTRA_CFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS from the command
line. The problem is that they are not propagated to sub-make calls
(runqslower, bpftool, libbpf) and in the better case are not applied, in
the worse case cause the entire build fail.
Propagate EXTRA_CFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS to the sub-makes.
This, for instance, allows to build selftests as PIE with
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fPIE' EXTRA_LDFLAGS='-pie'
Without this change, the command would fail because libbpf.a would not
be built with -fPIE and other PIE binaries would not link against it.
The only problem is that we have to explicitly provide empty
EXTRA_CFLAGS='' and EXTRA_LDFLAGS='' to the builds of kernel modules as
we don't want to build modules with flags used for userspace (the above
example would fail as kernel doesn't support PIE).
