Will Deacon f143c11bb7 tools: bpf: Use local copy of headers including uapi/linux/filter.h
Pulling header files directly out of the kernel sources for inclusion in
userspace programs is highly error prone, not least because it bypasses
the kbuild infrastructure entirely and so may end up referencing other
header files that have not been generated.

Subsequent patches will cause compiler.h to pull in the ungenerated
asm/rwonce.h file via filter.h, breaking the build for tools/bpf:

  | $ make -C tools/bpf
  | make: Entering directory '/linux/tools/bpf'
  |   CC       bpf_jit_disasm.o
  |   LINK     bpf_jit_disasm
  |   CC       bpf_dbg.o
  | In file included from /linux/include/uapi/linux/filter.h:9,
  |                  from /linux/tools/bpf/bpf_dbg.c:41:
  | /linux/include/linux/compiler.h:247:10: fatal error: asm/rwonce.h: No such file or directory
  |  #include <asm/rwonce.h>
  |           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  | compilation terminated.
  | make: *** [Makefile:61: bpf_dbg.o] Error 1
  | make: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/bpf'

Take a copy of the installed version of linux/filter.h  (i.e. the one
created by the 'headers_install' target) into tools/include/uapi/linux/
and adjust the BPF tool Makefile to reference the local include
directories instead of those in the main source tree.
