selftests: break the dependency upon local header files
Patch series "Fix selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".
As mentioned in each patch, this implements the solution that we discussed
in December 2023, in [1]. This turned out to be very clean and easy. It
should also be quite easy to maintain.
This should also make Peter Zijlstra happy, because it directly addresses
the root cause of his "NAK NAK NAK" reply [2]. :)

This patch (of 2):
Use tools/include/uapi/ files instead. These are obtained by taking a
snapshot: run "make headers" at the top level, then copy the desired
header file into the appropriate subdir in tools/uapi/.
This was discussed and solved in [1].
However, even before copying any additional files there, there are already
quite a few in tools/include/uapi already. And these will immediately fix
a number of selftests/mm build failures.
So this patch:
a) Adds TOOLS_INCLUDES to selftests/lib.mk, so that all selftests can
immediately and easily include the snapshotted header files.
b) Uses $(TOOLS_INCLUDES) in the selftests/mm build. On today's Arch
Linux, this already fixes all build errors except for a few
userfaultfd.h (those will be addressed in a subsequent patch).
