Subject: selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 00:16:37 -0700
As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how
one is supposed to build selftests:
make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm
Change the selftest build system's lib.mk to fail out with a helpful
message if that prerequisite "make headers" has not been done yet.
