Song Liu f7c4e85bcc perf bpf: Fix building perf with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 by default in more distros
Arnaldo reported that building all his containers with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
to then make this the default he found problems in some distros where
the system linux/bpf.h file was being used and lacked this:

   util/bpf_skel/bperf_leader.bpf.c:13:20: error: use of undeclared identifier 'BPF_F_PRESERVE_ELEMS'
           __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_PRESERVE_ELEMS);

So use instead the vmlinux.h file generated by bpftool from BTF info.

This fixed these as well, getting the build back working on debian:11,
debian:experimental and ubuntu:21.10:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
