Add a new make target to install to install kernel selftests.
This new target will build and install selftests. kselftest
target now depends on kselftest_install and runs the generated
kselftest script to reduce duplicate work and for common look
and feel when running tests.

Approach:

make kselftest_target:

kselftest_install?

-- exports kselftest INSTALL_KSFT_PATH
   default $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/kselftest/$(KERNELRELEASE)
-- exports path for ksefltest.sh
-- runs selftests make install target:

This direction is OK to me.

BTW, I've found another path to make selftest in Makefile,
Actually you can do

make -C tools/ selftest

And there are selftest_install and selftest_clean targets (but
currently it has a bug and doesn't work, anyway)

I think we'd better do subdir make instead of adding these targets.
This means that "make kselftest*" should be an alias of "make -C tools/ selftest*"

Also, I'd like to request passing some options like as O=$(objtree)
so that we can make test kmodules in selftests.

Thank you,
