./samples/ is built as part of "make vmlinux", tests are not.
Therefore, tests don't break allmodconfig and friends. The underlying
issue is, that ./samples/ provides both: examples for kernel modules
*and* examples for user-space code.

Maybe the real fix is to eventually split user-space examples from
kernel-module-examples (./samples/kernel/ and ./samples/user/). But I
don't want to include such split in the kdbus tree. Instead, I tried
to follow the recent fixes that are already upstream: 65f6f092a6987,
f59514b6a8c5ca6dd, and 6a407a81a9abcf.

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks
David
