Heh, reminds me of https://xkcd.com/927.

All of these #defines are available in tools/include/linux/kernel.h, and it's
trivially easy for selftests to add all of tools/include to their include path.
I don't see any reason for the selftests framework to define yet another version,
just fix the individual tests.
