[RFC bpf-next 13/13] bpf: Supporting building verifier.ko out-of-tree

[Daniel Xu]

This supports out-of-tree builds against the in-tree verifier.ko. This
is intended to be used to build newer upstream verifiers against older
kernel sources.

You can also do an "in-tree out-of-tree" build as proof of concept:

    $ make clean
    $ make modules_prepare
    $ cd kernel/bpf
    $ make -C ../.. M=$PWD
