$(shell ...) expands to the output of the command. It expands to the
empty string when the command does not print anything to stdout.
Hence, $(shell mkdir ...) is sufficient and does not need any
variable assignment in front of it.
Commit c2bd08ba20 ("treewide: remove meaningless assignments in
Makefiles", 2024-02-23) did this to all of tools/ but ignored in-flight
changes to tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile, so reapply the change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
