Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] selftests/hid: fix building for older kernels

Hi, I am sending this series on behalf of myself and Benjamin Tissoires. There
existed an initial n=3 patch series which was later expanded to n=4 and
is now back to n=3 with some fixes added in and rebased against
mainline.

This patch series aims to ensure that the hid/bpf selftests can be built
without errors.

Here's Benjamin's initial cover letter for context:
|  These fixes have been triggered by [0]:
|  basically, if you do not recompile the kernel first, and are
|  running on an old kernel, vmlinux.h doesn't have the required
|  symbols and the compilation fails.
|
|  The tests will fail if you run them on that very same machine,
|  of course, but the binary should compile.
|
|  And while I was sorting out why it was failing, I realized I
|  could do a couple of improvements on the Makefile.

Changes from v1 -> v2:
- roll Justin's fix into patch 1/3
- add __attribute__((preserve_access_index)) (thanks Eduard)
- rebased onto mainline (2dde18cd1d8fac735875f2e4987f11817cc0bc2c)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230825-wip-selftests-v1-0-c862769020a8@kernel.org/

Benjamin Tissoires (3):
      selftests/hid: ensure we can compile the tests on kernels pre-6.3
      selftests/hid: do not manually call headers_install
      selftests/hid: force using our compiled libbpf headers
