scripts/bpf_doc: Use silent mode when exec make cmd

[ Upstream commit 5384cc0d1a88c27448a6a4e65b8abe6486de8012 ]

When getting kernel version via make, the result may be polluted by other
output, like directory change info. e.g.

  $ export MAKEFLAGS="-w"
  $ make kernelversion
  make: Entering directory '/home/net'
  6.8.0
  make: Leaving directory '/home/net'

This will distort the reStructuredText output and make latter rst2man
failed like:

  [...]
  bpf-helpers.rst:20: (WARNING/2) Field list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
  [...]

Using silent mode would help. e.g.

  $ make -s --no-print-directory kernelversion
  6.8.0
