top_srcdir is already defined in lib.mk, it should not be necessary to
redefine it.

It is not clear to me why my suggestion to set this after including lib.mk
was ignored. I am thinking about a change like below but looking at the other
selftest Makefiles I do see very few actually modify CFLAGS after including
lib.mk. Closest one I could find to this problem was
tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/Makefile. Do you see an issue with modifying CFLAGS
after including lib.mk?

Rest of the patch looks good to me.
