Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: fix version identification on busybox

It's very often for embedded to have stripped version of sort in
busybox, when no -V option present. It breaks build natively on target
board causing recursive loop.

BusyBox v1.24.1 (2019-04-06 04:09:16 UTC) multi-call binary. \
Usage: sort [-nrugMcszbdfimSTokt] [-o FILE] [-k \
start[.offset][opts][,end[.offset][opts]] [-t CHAR] [FILE]...

Lets modify command a little to avoid -V option.

Fixes: dadb81d0afe732 ("libbpf: make libbpf.map source of truth for libbpf version")
