- [Low] Adding `$(LDFLAGS)` to the unconditionally built `dlfilters` shared library link rule breaks statically linked `perf` builds.

commit 18f2c24db710920618ef1d894a2b24abff4dbeb9
Author: Trevor Allison <tallison@redhat.com>

perf build: Add LDFLAGS to dlfilters .so link
    
Build-time linker flags were not applied when linking dlfilters.
Pass LDFLAGS for consistency with the other link rules.

[Severity: Low]
Does this break static builds of perf?

If a user builds perf statically by setting LDFLAGS="-static", this rule
will pass both "-static" and "-shared" to the linker. Since these flags are
mutually exclusive, this results in a fatal linker error.
