The dependency is only useful to make sure that the $(LIBBPF_HDRS_DIR) directory is created before we try to install locally the required libbpf internal header. Let's create this directory properly instead. This is in preparation of making $(LIBBPF_INTERNAL_HDRS) a dependency to the bootstrap bpftool version, in which case we want no dependency on $(LIBBPF).
