FWIW, this patch causes bpf selftest build failure and was reported in:

  https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/22825654003

The Makefile reuses CFLAGS for clang to build urandom_read, which may
cause GCC specific flags to feed to clang and causes errors.

The updated patch will introduce a new variable URANDOM_READ_CFLAGS,
without appending EXTRA_CFLAGS, this can effectively avoid incompatible
options.

Thanks,
Leo
