selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily

Browse Source 
%.bpf.o objects depend on vmlinux.h, which makes them transitively
dependent on unnecessary libbpf headers. However vmlinux.h doesn't
actually change as often.

When generating vmlinux.h, compare it to a previous version and update
it only if there are changes.

Example of build time improvement (after first clean build):
  $ touch ../../../lib/bpf/bpf.h
  $ time make -j8
Before: real  1m37.592s
After:  real  0m27.310s

Notice that %.bpf.o gen step is skipped if vmlinux.h hasn't changed.
