Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] selftests/bpf: Makefile: add includes to fix broken
 test build

Build fails with missing 'asm/bitsperlong.h'.

Include this from tools/arch/[arch]/include/uapi
using an architecture-specific include sourced from 'Module.symvers'
(is this legitimate? another idea was to do a `uname -p` but what if
caller was cross-compiling?)

Once the arch-specific include is fixed, a lack of 'asm/byteorder.h'
now rears its ugly head.
The only sane (ie: will not pull in kernel headers) place I can find it
is in $(ROOT)/usr/include - add this to the include.

Note that $(ROOT)/usr/include is generated on kernel build, hence my
assumption that 'Module.symvers' will also be present.

This highlights a philosophical issue - should these tests build:

1. Against the kernel tree only?
In this case I likely did the right thing here.

2. Against the local machine?
Then the proper handling is to source 'arch' from eg `uname -p`
and include /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/byteorder.h instead
of $(ROOT)/usr/include.
