linux-kselftest-5.4-rc3

This Kselftest update for Linux 5.4-rc3 consists fixes for existing
tests and the framework. Cristian Marussi's patches add ability to
skip targets (tests) and exclude tests that didn't build from run-list.
These patches improve the Kselftest results. Ability to skip targets
helps avoid running tests that aren't supported in certain environments.
As an example, bpf tests from mainline aren't supported on stable kernels
and have dependency on bleeding edge llvm. Being able to skip bpf on
systems that can't meet this llvm dependency will be helpful.

Kselftest can be built and installed from the main Makefile. This change
help simplify Kselftest use-cases which addresses request from users.

Kees Cook added per test timeout support to limit individual test run-time.
