[PATCH V2 00/10] selftests: Fix separate output directory builds

Build of several selftests fail if separate output directory is
specified by the following methods:
1) make -C tools/testing/selftests O=<build_dir>
2) export KBUILD_OUTPUT="build_dir"; make -C tools/testing/selftests
Build fails because of several reasons:
1) The kernel headers aren't found.
2) The path of output objects is wrong and hence unaccessible.
These problems can be solved by:
1) Including the correct path of uapi header files
2) By setting the BUILD variable correctly inside Makefile
Following different build scenarios have been tested after making these
changes to verify that nothing gets broken with these changes:
make -C tools/testing/selftests
make -C tools/testing/selftests/futex
make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm
make -C tools/testing/selftests/landlock
make -C tools/testing/selftests/net
make -C tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp
make -C tools/testing/selftests/vm
make -C tools/testing/selftests O=build
make -C tools/testing/selftests o=/opt/build
export KBUILD_OUTPUT="/opt/build"; make -C tools/testing/selftests
export KBUILD_OUTPUT="build"; make -C tools/testing/selftests
cd <any_dir>; make -C <src_path>/tools/testing/selftests
cd <any_dir>; make -C <src_path>/tools/testing/selftests O=build

Changes in V2:
Revert the excessive cleanup which was breaking the individual
test build.
