Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Remove arch-specific include path in Makefile

Ubuntu mainline builds for ppc64le are failing with the below error (*):
    CALL    /home/kernel/COD/linux/scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
    DESCEND  bpf/resolve_btfids

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ [32mon[m  ]
  ...                          zlib: [ [32mon[m  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ [31mOFF[m ]

  make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kernel/COD/linux'

resolve_btfids needs to be build as a host binary and it needs libbpf.
However, libbpf Makefile hardcodes an include path utilizing $(ARCH).
This results in mixing of cross-architecture headers resulting in a
build failure.

The specific header include path doesn't seem necessary for a libbpf
build. Hence, remove the same.

This is a simpler fix that seems to work and I saw the proper headers 
from within tools/ being included in both cross-architecture builds as 
well as a native ppc64le build. I am not sure if there is a better way 
to ask kbuild to build resolve_btfids/libbpf for the host architecture, 
and if that will set $(ARCH) appropriately.
