I don't install it on my test system. Kselftest build does header install
in the source tree to compile tests with the headers so that the changes
to tests and new tests can be compiled with the kernel changes that might
include kernel header changes.

when I run "make kselftest-all TARGETS=vm", I see the following: (this
is on linux-next-20211012,

tools/testing/selftests/vm/madv_populate
madv_populate.c:334:2: warning: #warning "missing MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE definition" [-Wcpp]
   334 | #warning "missing MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE definition"
       |  ^~~~~~~
