Subject: [PATCH] rtla: Define _GNU_SOURCE in timerlat_bpf.c

Newer versions of glibc include a definition of struct sched_attr in
bits/sched.h (included through sched.h which is included by rtla).
Commit 0eecee340672 ("tools/rtla: fix collision with glibc
sched_attr/sched_set_attr") has modified the definition of struct
sched_attr in utils.h, so that it is only applied with older versions of
glibc that do not define it, in order to prevent build failure.

The definition in bits/sched.h depends on _GNU_SOURCE.
timerlat_bpf.c does not define _GNU_SOURCE, making it fall back to the
definition in utils.h. The latter has two fields less, leading to
shifted offsets of struct timerlat_params in timerlat_bpf_init.

Because of the shift, timerlat_bpf_init incorrectly reads
params->entries as 0 for timerlat-hist and disables the creation of
histogram maps, causing breakage in BPF sample collection mode:

$ rtla timerlat hist -d 1s
Error pulling BPF data

Fix the issue by also defining _GNU_SOURCE in timerlat_bpf.c.
