6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 675b4e24bc50f4600b6bf3527fdbaa1f73498334 ]

The vmlinux.h file generated by bpftool makes use of compiler pragmas
in order to install the CO-RE preserve_access_index in all the struct
types derived from the BTF info:

  #ifndef __VMLINUX_H__
  #define __VMLINUX_H__

  #ifndef BPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX
  #pragma clang attribute push (__attribute__((preserve_access_index)), apply_t = record
  #endif

  [... type definitions generated from kernel BTF ... ]

  #ifndef BPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX
  #pragma clang attribute pop
  #endif

The `clang attribute push/pop' pragmas are specific to clang/llvm and
are not supported by GCC.

At the moment the BTF dumping services in libbpf do not support
dicriminating between types dumped because they are directly referred
and types dumped because they are dependencies.  A suitable API is
being worked now. See [1] and [2].

In the interim, this patch changes the selftests/bpf Makefile so it
passes -DBPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX to GCC when it builds the
selftests.  This workaround is temporary, and may have an impact on
the results of the GCC-built tests.

Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.
