Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] scripts/gen-btf.sh: Fix .btf.o generation when compiling for RISCV

gen-btf.sh emits a .btf.o file with BTF sections to be linked into
vmlinux in link-vmlinux.sh

This .btf.o file is created by compiling an emptystring with ${CC},
and then adding BTF sections into it with ${OBJCOPY}.

To ensure the .btf.o is linkable when cross-compiling with LLVM, we
have to also pass ${KBUILD_FLAGS}, which in particular control the
target word size.
