except some tests are using uapi and some others are using the
generated headers inconsistently, so it looks like using uapi directly
is allowed. Do you suggest to fix the tests to only use the exported
headers consistently across selftests and add the dependency to
headers_install when necessary?

it gives an error (command not found) and gpio test will fail to build
because it won't be able to find the headers or link to libmount
library.
