I am a little confused by this, as it seems to result in user-space
code using kernel headers. Is that expected?

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/connector
...
cc -c proc_filter.c -o proc_filter.o -Wall -isystem /home/horms/projects/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/../../../usr/include -I "../../../.."/include/uapi -I "../../../.."/include -D_GNU_SOURCE=

Please don't use inline in .c files unless there is a demonstrable,
usually performance, reason to do so.

Likewise twice more in this patch and once in patch 1/3.
