The current llvm/clang build procedure in samples/bpf/README.rst is
out of date. See below that the links are not accessible any more.

$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
Cloning into 'llvm'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
Cloning into 'clang'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/clang.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed

The llvm community has adopted new ways to build the compiler. There are
different ways to build llvm/clang, the Clang Getting Started page [1] has
one way. As Yonghong said, it is better to just copy the build procedure
in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst to keep consistent.

I verified the procedure and it is proved to be feasible, so we should
update README.rst to reflect the reality. At the same time, update the
related comment in Makefile.

v2: Update the commit message suggested by Yonghong,
    thank you very much.

 'clang' command via redefining LLC or CLANG on the make command line::
