Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] libbpf: force fixdep compilation at the start of the build

From: Stanislav Fomichev <[email-masked]>

libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

Before:

$ rm -rf /tmp/bld; mkdir /tmp/bld; make -j$(nproc) O=/tmp/bld -C tools/lib/bpf/

Auto-detecting system features:
...                        libelf: [ on  ]
...                           bpf: [ on  ]
