Subject: selftests: Fix kselftest O=objdir build from cluttering top level objdir
From: Shuah Khan <skhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 29e911ef7b706215caf02a82b0d3076611d6abe8 upstream.
make kselftest-all O=objdir builds create generated objects in objdir.
This clutters the top level directory with kselftest objects. Fix it
to create sub-directory under objdir for kselftest objects.
