Enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT for kselftest. User could compile kselftest
to another directory by passing O or KBUILD_OUTPUT. And O is high
priority than KBUILD_OUTPUT.

Sorry for noticing this late, but this patch
(a8ba798bc8ec663cf02e80b0dd770324de9bafd9) is really annoying for
people who *don't* use these fancy options:

Yeah sorry, it wasn't quite ready to go in.

Bamovar,

Please give me heads up and ask me to not commit the patch,
if you think it isn't ready.

That was me who wrote that above.

Do we really need "make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86 ldt_gdt_32"?
It is useful but it will skip the top level Makefile of selftests.

Being able to build individual tests is an important use-case.

Then it needs to be tested before changes are merged.
