It works fine for me. On top of your patch, the following works fine:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/trace_helpers.c 
b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/trace_helpers.c
index 0053ba22f0cb..087383c5dc3a 100644

 #define TRACEFS_PIPE   "/sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe"
 #define DEBUGFS_PIPE   "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe"

With V=1 when building selftests, the following is the compilation
command line:
clang --target=x86_64-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as -g -O0 -rdynamic -Wall 
-Werror   -I/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf

This include path
  /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include
will make including 'bpf/libbpf_internal.h' work.
