selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily
%.bpf.o objects depend on vmlinux.h, which makes them transitively
dependent on unnecessary libbpf headers. However vmlinux.h doesn't
actually change as often.
When generating vmlinux.h, compare it to a previous version and update
it only if there are changes.
Example of build time improvement (after first clean build):
$ touch ../../../lib/bpf/bpf.h
$ time make -j8
Before: real 1m37.592s
After: real 0m27.310s
Notice that %.bpf.o gen step is skipped if vmlinux.h hasn't changed.
