I thought header search paths to tools/include(/uapi) were unneeded,
but it looks like a build error occurs depending on the compiler.
Commit 303a339f30 ("bpfilter: remove extra header search paths for
bpfilter_umh") reintroduced the build error fixed by commit ae40832e53
("bpfilter: fix a build err").
Apology for the breakage, and thanks to Guenter for reporting this.

Currently, the header search paths -Itools/include and
-Itools/include/uapi are not used. Let's drop the unused code.
We can remove -I. too by fixing up one C file.

In preparation for enabling command line LDFLAGS, re-name HOSTLDFLAGS
to KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS as the internal use only flags. This should not
have any visible effects.

What we want here is to embed a user-space program into the kernel.
Instead of the complex ELF magic, let's simply wrap it in the assembly
with the '.incbin' directive.

Use $(OBJDUMP) instead of literal 'objdump' to avoid
using host toolchain when cross compiling.

bpfilter Makefile assumes that the system locale is en_US, and the
parsing of objdump output fails.
Set LC_ALL=C and, while at it, rewrite the objdump parsing so it spawns
only 2 processes instead of 7.

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko
The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
Example:
$ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko
bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.
Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.
Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko
If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.
