Stanislav Fomichev 8e2688876c libbpf: force fixdep compilation at the start of the build
libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a3 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

Before:

$ rm -rf /tmp/bld; mkdir /tmp/bld; make -j$(nproc) O=/tmp/bld -C tools/lib/bpf/

Auto-detecting system features:
...                        libelf: [ on  ]
...                           bpf: [ on  ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
