[PATCH stable 5.10 1/5] bpf: Generate BTF_KIND_FLOAT when linking vmlinux

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

From: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>

commit db16c1fe92d7ba7d39061faef897842baee2c887  upstream.

[backported for dependency only extra_paholeopt variable setup and
usage, we don't want floats generated in 5.10]

pahole v1.21 supports the --btf_gen_floats flag, which makes it
generate the information about the floating-point types [1].

Adjust link-vmlinux.sh to pass this flag to pahole in case it's
supported, which is determined using a simple version check.
