Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf/preload: Clean up .gitignore and "clean-files" target

kernel/bpf/preload/Makefile was recently updated to have it install
libbpf's headers locally instead of pulling them from tools/lib/bpf. But
two items still need to be addressed.

First, the local .gitignore file was not adjusted to ignore the files
generated in the new kernel/bpf/preload/libbpf output directory.

Second, the "clean-files" target is now incorrect. The old artefacts
names were not removed from the target, while the new ones were added
incorrectly. This is because "clean-files" expects names relative to
$(obj), but we passed the absolute path instead. This results in the
output and header-destination directories for libbpf (and their
contents) not being removed from kernel/bpf/preload on "make clean" from
the root of the repository.

This commit fixes both issues. Note that $(userprogs) needs not be added
to "clean-files", because the cleaning infrastructure already accounts
for it.

Cleaning the files properly also prevents make from printing the
following message, for builds coming after a "make clean":
"make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install_headers'."

v2: Simplify the "clean-files" target.

Fixes: bf60791741d4 ("bpf: preload: Install libbpf headers when building")
