    This reverts commit 9fc96c7c ("selftests: error out if kernel header
    files are not yet built").
    
    It turns out that requiring the kernel headers to be built as a
    prerequisite to building selftests, does not work in many cases. For
    example, Peter Zijlstra writes:
    
    "My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
    'make headers', it doesn't work for me.
    
    I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
    the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
    (bpf comes to mind)." [1]
    
    Therefore, stop erroring out on the selftests build. Additional patches
    will be required in order to change over to not requiring the kernel
    headers.
