Subject: BPF selftests build failure in 5.10-rc

Building the BPF selftests with clang 11, I'm getting the following
error:

   CLNG-LLC [test_maps] profiler1.o
 In file included from progs/profiler1.c:6:
 progs/profiler.inc.h:260:17: error: use of unknown builtin '__builtin_preserve_enum_value' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

I see that test_core_reloc_enumval.c takes precautions around the use of
__builtin_preserve_enum_value as it is currently only available in clang
12 nightlies. Is it possible to do something similar here? Though I see
that the use of the builtin is not nearly so neatly localized as it is
in test_core_reloc_enumval.c.

Thanks,
Seth
