HOSTLD is defined in tools/scripts/Makefile.include, we need to add it.

And for -include, mainly to resolve some conflicts:
1. If workdir is kernel_src, then 'include 
tools/scripts/Makefile.include' is fine when 'make M=samples/bpf'.
2. Since the trick in samples/bpf/Makefile:

# Trick to allow make to be run from this directory
all:
	$(MAKE) -C ../../ M=$(CURDIR) BPF_SAMPLES_PATH=$(CURDIR)

If workdir is samples/bpf, the compile process will first load the 
Makefile in samples/bpf, then change workdir to kernel_src and load the 
kernel_src's Makefile. So if we just add 'include 
tools/scripts/Makefile.include', then the first load will occur error 
for not found the file, so we add -include to skip the first load.
