To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are
either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at
all.
And check if the copy drifts from the kernel, as in this synthetic test:
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
Warning: tools/include/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel

We shouldn't use headers from the kernel sources directly, instead we
should use the system's headers or in cases where that isn't possible,
like with perf_event.h, where the introduction of kernel features such
as perf_event_attr.{write_backwards,sample_max_stack} and
PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT take some time to become available in
/usr/include/linux/perf_event.h we need a copy.
Do it and check for source code drift, emitting a warning when changes
are detected.
