I am seeing problem with selftests/dma and selfttests/user_events.

1. selftests: dma: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path

dma test no longer builds. This test depends on linux/map_benchmark.h
which is not included in uapi

The order of include directorries -isystem followed by installed kernel
headers, breaks the test build with the change to use KHDR_INCLUDES


I am going to revert this patch for now and figure a longer term fix.
The problem is the dependency on a non-uapi file: linux/map_benchmark.h

Fixes: 8ddde07a3d28 ("dma-mapping: benchmark: extract a common
header file for map_benchmark definition") change added this
dependency on including linux/map_benchmark.h

Christoph, Do you see this map_benchmark.h as part of uapi?


2. selftests: user_events: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path
This one depends on linux/user_events.h which has bee removed from
uapi in this commit:

commit 5cfff569cab8bf544bab62c911c5d6efd5af5e05
Author: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt at goodmis.org>

     tracing: Move user_events.h temporarily out of include/uapi

This isn't a regression from 6.2 - this test stopped building once
user_events.h has been removed from uapi. I will add a note that
this test depends on a non-uapi header and can't be built at the
moment.

thanks,
