The bpf_tail_call_static function is currently not defined unless
using clang >= 8.
To support bpf_tail_call_static on GCC we can check if __clang__ is
not defined to enable bpf_tail_call_static.
We need to use GCC assembly syntax when the compiler does not define
__clang__ as LLVM inline assembly is not fully compatible with GCC.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- drop __BPF__ check as GCC now defines __bpf__
