Add kselftest to MRPROPER_FILES, so that the default kselftest output

Does this change remove kselftest build objects in-tree builds?
It didn't for me - also there is kselftest directory under
tools/selftests that has several scripts.
Can you test this for in-tree builds - I would like this work
for both.
I dropped this from my next for now. This can go through kbuild
