kbuild: skip install/check of headers right under uapi directories
Since commit 61562f98 ("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 $(root)/usr/include/uapi, but this is tricky. To fix the problem in a clean way is to skip headers install/check in include/uapi and arch/$(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.
