When compiling an eBPF prog fails, make still returns 0, because
failing clang command's output is piped to llc and therefore its
exit status is ignored.

When clang fails, pipe the string "clang failed" to llc. This will make
llc fail with an informative error message. This solution was chosen
over using pipefail, having separate targets or getting rid of llc
invocation due to its simplicity.

In addition, pull Kbuild.include in order to get .DELETE_ON_ERROR target,
which would cause partial .o files to be removed.

In your original patch you explicitly declared .DELETE_ON_ERROR, but
in this one you just include Kbuild.include.
Is it enough to just include that file to get desired behavior or your
forgot to add .DELETE_ON_ERROR?

Thanks!

It’s enough to just include Kbuild.include. I grepped the source tree
and found that no one else declares .DELETE_ON_ERROR explicitly, so I've
decided to avoid doing this as well.
