The difficulty with this is that whether or not you need this definition
depends on your system headers. My laptop doesn't have definitions for
either __NR_mount_setattr or struct mount_attr, so for me the build
works without this patch but fails with it.


The header search looks up system headers followed by installed headers in
the repo (both in-tree and out-of-tree builds). kselftest builds do depend
on headers_install. Did you building after running headers_install?

I suppose we could fix this universally by using a different name for
the struct in the test, e.g.:


This is not a good way to for a couple of reasons. This masks any problems
due to incompatibility between these defines.
