pkey-helpers.h defines PKEY_UNRESTRICTED itself when the macro is not
already known, a stopgap from when the generic definition was still
under review. It has been merged since, commit 6d61527d931b ("mm/pkey:
Add PKEY_UNRESTRICTED macro"), so the guard is never taken and the FIXME
can be honoured.
The definition comes from tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h
via TOOLS_INCLUDES, which commit e076eaca5906 ("selftests: break the
dependency upon local header files") added so that the mm selftests
build without "make headers". It is reached through the
<asm-generic/mman.h> that the system <asm/mman.h> includes. Building
the pkey tests with KHDR_INCLUDES pointing at an empty directory
confirms that; emptying TOOLS_INCLUDES as well is what makes the macro
go missing.
No functional change intended.

Changes in v3:
- Add the Assisted-by tag Lorenzo asked for; an AI assistant was used
while tracing the include path and preparing the patch. The builds
and the cpp output quoted below were run and checked by me.
- Pick up the acks from David and Lorenzo.
- Sent as a new mail rather than in reply to v2, as both asked.
Changes in v2:
- Drop the incorrect claim that the mm selftests are built against the
headers of the kernel source and would fail without "make headers".
They are not, as Lorenzo pointed out; describe where the definition
really comes from instead.
- Leave tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/include/pkeys.h alone, as
discussed with David on v1. Unlike the mm one it is an unconditional
#undef/#define next to other powerpc specific overrides, and that
header only includes <sys/mman.h>, which does not provide
PKEY_UNRESTRICTED with or without TOOLS_INCLUDES, so its definition
is load bearing.
The full include path, for reference:
pkey-helpers.h
-> <linux/mman.h> tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h
-> <asm/mman.h> /usr/include/asm/mman.h
(tools/include/uapi/asm/mman.h does not exist)
-> <asm-generic/mman.h> tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h
(-isystem puts it ahead of the system one)
-> <asm-generic/mman-common-tools.h>
-> <asm-generic/mman-common.h> PKEY_UNRESTRICTED
