Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Allow passing extra Clang flags via
 EXTRA_BPF_FLAGS

Add support for EXTRA_BPF_FLAGS in the eBPF skeleton build, allowing
users to pass additional clang options such as --sysroot or custom
include paths when cross-compiling perf.

This is primarily intended for cross-build scenarios where the default
host include paths do not match the target kernel version.

Example usage:

    make perf ARCH="arm64" EXTRA_BPF_FLAGS="--sysroot=..."
