Subject: [PATCH 5.19 709/717] kbuild: Add skip_encoding_btf_enum64 option to pahole

From: Martin Rodriguez Reboredo <yakoyoku@...il.com>

New pahole (version 1.24) generates by default new BTF_KIND_ENUM64 BTF tag,
which is not supported by stable kernel.

As a result the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF option will fail to
compile with following error:

  BTFIDS  vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: Invalid argument

New pahole provides --skip_encoding_btf_enum64 option to skip BTF_KIND_ENUM64
generation and produce BTF supported by stable kernel.

Adding this option to scripts/pahole-flags.sh.

This change does not have equivalent commit in linus tree, because linus tree
has support for BTF_KIND_ENUM64 tag, so it does not need to be disabled.
