  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

However, that's not yet documented anywhere. So add it to
Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst .

This is breaking the arm64 selftests, I've sent a revert:
