[PATCH v2 2/2] bpf: makefiles: do not generate empty vmlinux.h

From: Changbin Du
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 08:43:16 EST


Remove the empty vmlinux.h if bpftool failed to dump btf info.
The emptry vmlinux.h can hide real error when reading output
of make.

This is done by adding .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target in related
makefiles.
