    selftests: Fix test errors related to lib.mk khdr target · 211929fd

    Commit b2d35fa5 ("selftests: add headers_install to lib.mk") added
    khdr target to run headers_install target from the main Makefile. The
    logic uses KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL and top_srcdir as controls to initialize
    variables and include files to run headers_install from the top level
    Makefile. There are a few problems with this logic.
    
    1. Exposes top_srcdir to all tests
    2. Common logic impacts all tests
    3. Uses KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL, top_srcdir, and khdr in an adhoc way. Tests
       add "khdr" dependency in their Makefiles to TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED in
       some cases, and STATIC_LIBS in other cases. This makes this framework
       confusing to use.
    
    The common logic that runs for all tests even when KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL
    isn't defined by the test. top_srcdir is initialized to a default value
    when test doesn't initialize it. It works for all tests without a sub-dir
    structure and tests with sub-dir structure fail to build.
    
    e.g: make -C sparc64/drivers/ or make -C drivers/dma-buf
    
    ../../lib.mk:20: ../../../../scripts/subarch.include: No such file or directory
    make: *** No rule to make target '../../../../scripts/subarch.include'.  Stop.
    
    There is no reason to require all tests to define top_srcdir and there is
    no need to require tests to add khdr dependency using adhoc changes to
    TEST_* and other variables.
    
    Fix it with a consistent use of KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL and top_srcdir from tests
    that have the dependency on headers_install.
    
    Change common logic to include khdr target define and "all" target with
    dependency on khdr when KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL is defined.
    
    Only tests that have dependency on headers_install have to define just
    the KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL, and top_srcdir variables and there is no need to
    specify khdr dependency in the test Makefiles.
