This is breaking the build in -next on at least arm64 and x86_64 since
it's trying to build an out of tree kernel module which is included in
the selftests directory, the kselftest build system just isn't set up to
do that in a sensible and robust fashion.  The module should probably be
in the main kernel tree and enabled by the config file for the mm tests.

KernelCI sees:

***
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
Makefile:810: include/config/auto.conf.cmd: No such file or directory

(see https://storage.kernelci.org/next/master/next-20241114/x86_64/x86_64_defconfig%2Bkselftest/gcc-12/logs/kselftest.log)

and I've seen:

  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.

make[3]: *** [Makefile:788: include/config/auto.conf] Error 1
