Oops the papering over does not really work because the compiler picks
up the sigcontext.h already installed to /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h.
So, if we want to use the "updated" version of sigcontext.h, we still
have to add KHDR_INCLUDES to pick up
kernel-tree/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h instead.

Or, I can add $(KHDR_INCLUDES) but also keep
-isystem $(top_srcdir)/include/uapi, so "make -C tools/testing/selftests
TARGETS=vDSO" will still (happens to) work on x86 and ppc (without
headers in kernel-tree/usr).

If you agree I'll use this approach in v5.
