Subject: Revert "userfaultfd: selftest: vm: allow to build in vm/ directory"
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This reverts commit b5213e1e9f25ccde958aa6364815ee87fef91100 which was
commit 46aa6a302b53f543f8e8b8e1714dc5e449ad36a6 upstream.
This is being reverted because the affected commit this was trying to
fix, a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT"), was never
backported to the 4.4-stable tree.
