John, your change makes:

tools/testing/selftests$ make clean

fail with:

make[1]: Entering directory 
'/home/lukas/repositories/kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/vm'
Makefile:4: local_config.mk: No such file or directory
./check_config.sh gcc
make[1]: execvp: ./check_config.sh: Permission denied
Makefile:141: recipe for target 'local_config.mk' failed
make[1]: *** [local_config.mk] Error 127

when make clean is called without building the vm selftests before, e.g., 
when someone just cleans everything in the repository to just be sure that 
everything is clean.
