perf llvm: Pass LINUX_VERSION_CODE to BPF program when compiling

Arnaldo suggests to make LINUX_VERSION_CODE works like __func__ and
__FILE__ so user don't need to care setting right linux version too
much. In this patch, perf llvm transfers LINUX_VERSION_CODE macro
through clang cmdline.

Committer notes:

Before, forgetting to update the version:

  # uname -r
  4.3.0-rc1+
  # cat bpf.c
  __attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
  int fork(void *ctx)
  {
          return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40200;
  #
  # perf record -e bpf.c sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'bpf.c'
                       \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
 #

After:

  # grep version bpf.c
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  # perf record -e bpf.c sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist -v
  perf_bpf_probe:fork: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x5ee, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
  1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
