Independent builds of the vm selftests is currently broken
because commit 7549b3364201 overrides the value of ARCH with
the machine name from uname. This does not always match the
architecture names used for tasks like header installation.
E.g. for building tests on powerpc64, we need ARCH=powerpc
and not ARCH=ppc64 or ARCH=ppc64le. Otherwise, the build
fails as shown below.
$ uname -m
ppc64le
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/vm
make: Entering directory '/home/sandipan/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm'
make --no-builtin-rules ARCH=ppc64le -C ../../../.. headers_install
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/sandipan/linux'
Makefile:653: arch/ppc64le/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/ppc64le/Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/sandipan/linux'
../lib.mk:50: recipe for target 'khdr' failed
make: *** [khdr] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/home/sandipan/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm'
Fixes: 7549b3364201 ("selftests: vm: Build/Run 64bit tests only on 64bit arch")
