Both struct bpf_wq and struct hid_device should be generated in the
vmlinux.h that we include in the selftests. So this is definitely not
related to your patch AFAICT.

Looking in the config, we have `# CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT is not set` -> so
that would explain why struct hid_device is not available. But in that
case, why are the HID selftests even built?

The bpf_wq bits should be related to a similar-ish issue where one
config setting is not set and so it's not included in the final BTF.

I paged out how we can ignore selftests based on the .config, so if you
have any hints, that would be nice :)

Cheers,
Benjamin
