selftests/resctrl: fix clang build failure: use LOCAL_HDRS
[ Upstream commit d8171aa4ca72f1a67bf3c14c59441d63c1d2585f ]
First of all, in order to build with clang at all, one must first apply
Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Once that is done, then when
building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
...the following error occurs:
clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files
This is because clang, unlike gcc, won't accept invocations of this
form:
clang file1.c header2.h
Fix this by using selftests/lib.mk facilities for tracking local header
file dependencies: add them to LOCAL_HDRS, leaving only the .c files to
be passed to the compiler.
