[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] samples/bpf: change Makefile to cope with latest llvm

[Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>]

With latest llvm trunk, bpf programs under samples/bpf
directory, if using CORE, may experience the following
errors:

LLVM ERROR: Cannot select: intrinsic %llvm.preserve.struct.access.index
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://bugs.llvm.org/ and include the crash backtrace.

Aborted (core dumped) | llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o samples/bpf/test_probe_write_user_kern.o

The reason is due to llvm change https://reviews.llvm.org/D87153
where the CORE relocation global generation is moved from the beginning
of target dependent optimization (llc) to the beginning
of target independent optimization (opt).

Since samples/bpf programs did not use vmlinux.h and its clang compilation
uses native architecture, we need to adjust arch triple at opt level
to do CORE relocation global generation properly. Otherwise, the above
error will appear.

This patch fixed the issue by introduce opt and llvm-dis to compilation chain,
which will do proper CORE relocation global generation as well as O2 level
optimization. Tested with llvm10, llvm11 and trunk/llvm12.
