the goal of the patch is to avoid doing 'make headers_install' to build samples/bpf/ ?
The idea of the patch is interesting, but it breaks the build for me:
/w/net-next make samples/bpf/
make[1]: Entering directory `/data/users/ast/net-next/bld_x64'
  Using .. as source for kernel
  GEN     ./Makefile
  CALL    ../scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
  HOSTCC  samples/bpf/test_lru_dist
In file included from ../include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5:0,
                 from ../include/uapi/linux/types.h:14,
                 from ../samples/bpf/test_lru_dist.c:9:
../include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:2:34: fatal error: linux/compiler_types.h: No such file or directory
 #include <linux/compiler_types.h>
                                  ^
compilation terminated.

while I don't see any build issues without this patch in bpf tree.
Strangely current bpf-next tree fails with:
parse_varlen.c:111:8: error: redefinition of 'vlan_hdr'
but none of the other errors you mentioned.
