[PATCH 2/3] arm: include: asm: unified: mask .syntax unified for clang

From: Ivan Khoronzhuk <ivan.khoronzhuk at linaro.org>

The samples/bpf reuses linux headers, with clang -emit-llvm,
so this w/a is only for samples/bpf (samples/bpf/Makefile CLANG-bpf).

It allows to build samples/bpf for arm on target board.
In another way clang -emit-llvm generates errors like:

<inline asm>:1:1: error: unknown directive
.syntax unified

I have verified it on clang 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
as on native platform as for cross-compiling. This decision is
arguable, but it doesn't have impact on samples/bpf so it's easier
just ignore it for clang, at least for now...
