[PATCH v3 2/2] bpf: makefiles: do not generate empty vmlinux.h

From: Changbin Du
Date: Sat Dec 17 2022 - 17:37:46 EST


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

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