bpftrace parses the kernel headers and uses Clang under the hood. Remove
the version check when __BPF_TRACING__ is defined (as bpftrace does) so
that this tool can continue to parse kernel headers, even with older
clang sources.

Fixes: commit 1f7a44f63e6c ("compiler-clang: add build check for clang 10.0.1")

1f7a44f63e6c is only in 5.10-rcX, so I shall remove the cc:stable.

I can take it through the bpf tree if no one objects.

Thanks a lot for quick response to everyone :-) This ebpf tracing has
been a great help lately with the SGX patch set. Hope I get chance to
contribute to this work at some point in future.
