[PATCH v2] kbuild: skip install/check of headers right under uapi directories

[Masahiro Yamada]

Since commit 61562f981e92 ("uapi: export all arch specifics
directories"), "make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$root/usr headers_install"
deletes standard glibc headers and others in $root/usr/include.

The cause of the issue is that headers_install now starts descending
from arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi with $root/usr/include for its
destination when installing asm headers.  So, headers already there
are assumed to be unwanted.

When headers_install starts descending from include/uapi with
$root/usr/include for its destination, it works around the problem
by creating an dummy destination $root/usr/include/uapi, but this
is tricky.

To fix the problem in a clean way is to skip headers install/check
in include/uapi or arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi because we know
there are only sub-directories in uapi directories.  A good side
effect is the empty destination $root/usr/include/uapi will go
away.

I am also removing the trailing slash in the headers_check target to
skip checking in arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi.

Fixes: 61562f981e92 ("uapi: export all arch specifics directories")

Changes in v2:
  - Remove trailing slash from $(hdr-inst)=... of headers_check
