selftests/bpf: Fix error linking uprobe_multi on mips
[ Upstream commit a5f40d596bff182b4b47547712f540885e8fb17b ]
Linking uprobe_multi.c on mips64el fails due to relocation overflows, when
the GOT entries required exceeds the default maximum. Add a specific CFLAGS
(-mxgot) for uprobe_multi.c on MIPS that allows using a larger GOT and
avoids errors such as:
/tmp/ccBTNQzv.o: in function `bench':
uprobe_multi.c:49:(.text+0x1d7720): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT_DISP against `uprobe_multi_func_08188'
uprobe_multi.c:49:(.text+0x1d7730): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT_DISP against `uprobe_multi_func_08189'
...
