[PATCH bpf-next v11 11/11] selftests/bpf: Tolerate missing files during install

["Ricardo B. Marlière" <rbm@suse.com>]

With partial builds, some TEST_GEN_FILES entries can be absent at install
time. rsync treats missing source arguments as fatal and aborts kselftest
installation.

Override INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE in selftests/bpf to use --ignore-missing-args,
while keeping the existing bpf-specific INSTALL_RULE extension logic. Also
add --ignore-missing-args to the TEST_INST_SUBDIRS rsync loop so that
subdirectories with no .bpf.o files (e.g. when a test runner flavor was
skipped) do not abort installation.

Note that the INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE override applies globally to all file
categories including static source files (TEST_PROGS, TEST_FILES). These
are version-controlled and should always be present, so the practical risk
is negligible.
