Hi Linus,

Please pull the following Kselftest fixes update for Linux 5.11-rc4

This Kselftest fixes update for Linux 5.11-rc4 consists of one single
fix to skip BPF selftests by default. BPF selftests have a hard
dependency on cutting edge versions of tools in the BPF ecosystem
including LLVM.

Skipping BPF allows by default will make it easier for users interested
in running kselftest as a whole. Users can include BPF in Kselftest
build by via SKIP_TARGETS variable.

diff is attached.

thanks,
-- Shuah
