Actually, I just tested in-tree and everything works for me, could you
please verify:

make mrproper  # Clean the tree
cat tools/testing/selftests/liveupdate/config > .config # Copy LUO depends.
make olddefconfig  # make a def config with LUO
make kvm_guest.config # Build minimal KVM guest with LUO
make headers # Make uAPI headers
make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=liveupdate install # make and
install liveupdate selftests

# Show that self tests are properly installed:
ls -1 tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/liveupdate/
config
do_kexec.sh
liveupdate
luo_multi_file
luo_multi_kexec
luo_multi_session
luo_unreclaimed
