Before this patch:
# ./perf test 39 41
39: LLVM search and compile :
39.1: Basic BPF llvm compile : Ok
39.2: kbuild searching : FAILED!
39.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation : Skip

41.4: BPF relocation checker : Skip
#
Using 'perf test -v' for these tests shows that it is not finding
uapi/linux/fs.h, which ends up being because we don't setup the right header
path. Fix it.

Longer description:
In llvm-utils.c we use some techniques to obtain the kbuild make
directives and that recently stopped working as now 'ar' gets called and
expects to find the dummy.o used to echo these variables:
$(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) $(LINUXINCLUDE) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS)
Add the $(CC) line to satisfy that, making sure this works with all
kernels, i.e. preserving the temp directory and files in it used for
this technique we can see that it works everywhere:
# make -s -C /lib/modules/5.4.18-100.fc30.x86_64/build M=/tmp/tmp.qgaFHgxjZ4/ clean
# ls -la /tmp/tmp.qgaFHgxjZ4/
total 4
drwx------. 2 root root 80 Feb 14 09:42 .
drwxrwxrwt. 47 root root 1200 Feb 14 09:42 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 13 17:14 dummy.c
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 121 Feb 13 17:14 Makefile
#
# cat /tmp/tmp.qgaFHgxjZ4/Makefile
obj-y := dummy.o
$(obj)/%.o: $(src)/%.c
@echo -n "$(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) $(LINUXINCLUDE) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS)"
$(CC) -c -o $@ $<
#
Then build with an old kernel Makefile:
# make -s -C /lib/modules/5.4.18-100.fc30.x86_64/build M=/tmp/tmp.qgaFHgxjZ4/ dummy.o
-nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/9/include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h
