[ Upstream commit 46aa6a302b53f543f8e8b8e1714dc5e449ad36a6 ]

linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make

  gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include     compaction_test.c -lrt -o 
/compaction_test
  
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
cannot open output file /compaction_test: Permission denied
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [../lib.mk:54: /compaction_test] Error 1

Since commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT")
selftests/vm build fails if run from the "selftests/vm" directory, but
it works in the selftests/ directory.  It's quicker to be able to do a
local vm-only build after a tree wipe and this patch allows for it
again.
