[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: Build and install kernel selftests

[Cyril Bur]

This patch simply adds the ability to compile and install the kernel
selftests into the target.

This is likely to be a rarely used debugging/performance feature for
development and unlikely to be used in a production configuration.

+	  Use of this option implies you know the process using and compiling
