If Makefile cannot find any of the vmlinux's in its VMLINUX_BTF_PATHS list,
it tries to run btftool incorrectly, with VMLINUX_BTF unset:
bpftool btf dump file $(VMLINUX_BTF) format c
Such that the keyword 'format' is misinterpreted as the path to vmlinux.
The resulting build error message is fairly cryptic:
GEN vmlinux.h
Error: failed to load BTF from format: No such file or directory
This patch makes the failure reason clearer by yielding this instead:
Makefile:...: *** Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of
"{paths}". Stop.
