Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] samples/bpf: Use getppid instead of getpgrp for array map stress

When cross-compiling the bpf sample map_perf_test for aarch64, I find that
__NR_getpgrp is undefined. This causes build errors. This syscall is deprecated
and requires defining __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED. To avoid having to define
that, just use a different syscall (getppid) for the array map stress test.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] samples/bpf: Fix pt_regs issues when cross-compiling

BPF samples fail to build when cross-compiling for ARM64 because of incorrect
pt_regs param selection. This is because clang defines __x86_64__ and
bpf_headers thinks we're building for x86. Since clang is building for the BPF
target, it shouldn't make assumptions about what target the BPF program is
going to run on. To fix this, lets pass ARCH so the header knows which target
the BPF program is being compiled for and can use the correct pt_regs code.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] samples/bpf: Enable cross compiler support

When cross compiling, bpf samples use HOSTCC for compiling the non-BPF part of
the sample, however what we really want is to use the cross compiler to build
for the cross target since that is what will load and run the BPF sample.
Detect this and compile samples correctly.
