samples/bpf: Add valid info for VMLINUX_BTF



When I use the command 'make M=samples/bpf' to compile samples/bpf code
in ubuntu 22.04, the error info occured:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
build the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF or VMLINUX_H variable

Others often encounter this kind of issue, new kernel has the vmlinux, so we can
set the path in error info which seems more intuitive, like:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
buiild the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF like "VMLINUX_BTF=/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux" or
VMLINUX_H variable
