This wasn't showing up in my -next build tests since I set FORCE_TARGETS
and explicitly choose a restricted set of kselftests which actually
build with my system and configuration. It was less obvious than it
should have been with the other systems since they did not expect there
to be a complete failure to generate a kselftest tarball and variously
masked the error or reported it in a manner that looked like an
infrastructure issue.

I didn't see it when I did test on linux-next and my repo. I did install
to catch problems.

Sorry for not catching this. We can drop this patch.

Yeah, it's easy to miss if you're set up to build everything.

Mark, would you like to a revert for this?

Yes, I'll massage the text from my report into a changelog send
something - it'll probably be tomorrow now.

Thank you Mark
