[BUGFIX PATCH] selftests: Use real temporary working directory for archiving

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Use real temporary working directory for generating kselftest
archive.

tools/testing/selftests/kselftest directory has been used for
the temporary working directory for making a tar archive from
gen_kselftest_tar.sh, and it removes the directory for cleanup.

However, since the kselftest directory became a part of the
repository, it must not be used as a working dir.

Introduce mktemp to prepare a temporary working directory
for archiving kselftests.

I'm not objecting to the test, but I would like to understand this
point better.  Under normal circumstances (i.e. when not using O= or KBUILD_OUTPUT)
the rest of the kernel directory structure holds generated files.
What is the issue with using kselftest to hold generated files?

OK, after running ./gen_kselftest_tar.sh in tools/testing/selftests,
I found there is no tools/testing/selftests/kselftest was there.
Actually, this was found when I searched "runner.sh" on the tree
after building kselftest.tar.gz. I couldn't find it and realized that
the gen_kselftest_tar.sh removed kselftest directory.

This is not happen if you run gen_kselftest_tar.sh.

Thank you,
