From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <redacted> The runqslower tool refuses to build without a file to read vmlinux BTF from. The build fails with an error message to override the location by setting the VMLINUX_BTF variable if autodetection fails. However, the Makefile doesn't actually work with that override - the error message is still emitted. Fix this by including the value of VMLINUX_BTF in the expansion, and only emitting the error message if the *result* is empty. Also permit running 'make clean' even though no VMLINUX_BTF is set.

If user specifies VMLINUX_BTF pointing to non-existing file, but the system has /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux, the latter will still be used, which is a very surprising behavior. Also MAKECMDGOALS feels like a fragile hack to me. How about we move this VMLINUX_BTF guessing (without $(error)) into vmlinux.h rule itself and use shell if conditional after it to check for file existance and print nice error. That way we'll be checking VMLINUX_BTF only when it's really needed.
