Subject: [PATCH trivial v3] include/uapi/Kbuild: modify the comments for it

"include/uapi/" is the whole Linux kernel API, it is important enough
to get more global explanations by comments.

In "include/uapi/Kbuild", "Makefile..." and "non-arch..." comments are
meaningless for current 'Kbuild', so delete them.

And add more explanations for "include/uapi/" in "include/uapi/Kbuild",
