Argh, many selftests don't add tools/include to their include path.  The least
awful thing I can think of is to go with a minimal fix to avoid the collision.
AFAICT, nothing outside of kselftest_harness.h uses is_signed_type(), so this
shouldn't cause a different flavor of breakage?

Subject: [PATCH] selftests: harness: Rework is_signed_type() to avoid
 collision with overflow.h

Rename is_signed_type() to is_signed_var() to avoid colliding with a macro
of the same name defined by tools' linux/overflow.h.  This fixes warnings
(and presumably potential test failures) in tests that utilize the
selftests harness and happen to (indirectly) include overflow.h.

Use a separate definition, at least for now, as many selftests build
without tools/include in their include path.
