With partial builds, some TEST_GEN_FILES entries can be absent at install
time. rsync treats missing source arguments as fatal and aborts kselftest
installation.
Override INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE in selftests/bpf to use --ignore-missing-args,
while keeping the existing bpf-specific INSTALL_RULE extension logic.
