Subject: [PATCH 1/1] selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built

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

Change the selftest build system's lib.mk to fail out with a helpful
message if that prerequisite "make headers" has not been done yet.
