kbuild: add CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL and loosen the dependency of samples
Commit 5318321d367c ("samples: disable CONFIG_SAMPLES for UML") used a big hammer to fix the build errors under the samples/ directory. Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include. Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers are installed before starting directory descending. I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options. This allows UML to compile some samples. $ make ARCH=um allmodconfig samples/ [ snip ] CC [M] samples/configfs/configfs_sample.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/bytestream-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/dma-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/inttype-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/record-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kobject-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kset-example.o CC [M] samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.o CC [M] samples/trace_printk/trace-printk.o AR samples/vfio-mdev/built-in.a AR samples/built-in.a Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

+ This option will install uapi headers (headers exported to user-space)
+ into the usr/include directory for use during the kernel build.
+ This is unneeded for building the kernel itself, but needed for some

- This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers when

relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
