selftests/powerpc: Fix try-run when source tree is not writable

We added a usage of try-run to pmu/ebb/Makefile to detect if the
toolchain supported the -no-pie option.

This fails if we build out-of-tree and the source tree is not
writable, as try-run tries to write its temporary files to the current
directory. That leads to the -no-pie option being silently dropped,
which leads to broken executables with some toolchains.

If we remove the redirect to /dev/null in try-run, we see the error:

  make[3]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb'
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file .54.tmp: Read-only file system
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

And looking with strace we see it's trying to use a file that's in the
source tree:

  lstat("/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb/.54.tmp", 0x7ffffc0f83c8)

We can fix it by setting TMPOUT to point to the $(OUTPUT) directory,
and we can verify with strace it's now trying to write to the output
directory:

  lstat("/output/kselftest/powerpc/pmu/ebb/.54.tmp", 0x7fffd1bf6bf8)

And also see that the -no-pie option is now correctly detected.
