The recent change fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built") to generate an error message when building
kselftests without having installed the headers is generating spurious
failures during the install step which breaks the arm64 selftests (and
only the arm64 selftests):

Emit Tests for arm64
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1

make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1
make[4]: *** [Makefile:26: all] Error 2

Presumably the arm64 tests are doing something unusual in their build
setup which could be adjusted but I didn't immediately see it and since
this is having a serious impact on test coverage in automation let's
just revert for now.

This is causing failures in KernelCI with the command:

make KBUILD_BUILD_USER=KernelCI FORMAT=.xz ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf- CC="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" O=/tmp/kci/linux/build -C/tmp/kci/linux -j10 kselftest-gen_tar

and also when building using tuxmake.
