Add headers_install as a dependency to kselftest targets so that they can be run directly from the top of the tree. The kselftest Makefile used to try to call headers_install "backwards" but failed due to the relative path not being consistent. Now we can either run this directly: $ make O=build kselftest-all or this: $ make O=build headers_install $ make O=build -C tools/testing/selftest all The same commands work as well when building directly in the source tree (no O=) or any arbitrary path (relative or absolute).
