Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: make samples depend on headers_install really

Kernel headers must be installed into $(objtree)/usr/include to avoid
the build failure of samples.

Commit ddea05fa148b ("kbuild: make samples depend on headers_install")
addressed this, but "samples/" is only used for the single target build.

"make samples/" correctly installs kernel headers, but it does not
work for general building because a phony target "sample" (no tailing
backslash) is used.
