There exists many build warnings when make M=samples/bpf on the Loongson

Here are some warnings:

MIPS needs __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ before <linux/types.h> to select
'int-ll64.h' in arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/types.h, then it can avoid
build warnings when printing __u64 with %llu, %llx or %lld.
The header tools/include/linux/types.h defines __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__,
it seems that we can include <linux/types.h> in the source files which
have build warnings, but it has no effect due to actually it includes
usr/include/linux/types.h instead of tools/include/linux/types.h, the
problem is that "usr/include" is preferred first than "tools/include"
in samples/bpf/Makefile, that sounds like a ugly hack to -Itools/include
before -Iusr/include.
So define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ for MIPS in samples/bpf/Makefile
is proper, if add "TPROGS_CFLAGS += -D__SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__" in
samples/bpf/Makefile, it appears the following error:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... zlib: [ on ]
... bpf: [ OFF ]
BPF API too old
make[3]: *** [Makefile:293: bpfdep] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2
With #ifndef __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ in tools/include/linux/types.h,
the above error has gone and this ifndef change does not hurt other
compilations.
