Subject: tags: include headers before source files

Currently looking up a structure definition in TAGS / tags takes one to 
one of multiple "static struct X" definitions in arch sources, which makes 
it for many structs practically impossible to get to the required header. 
This patch changes the order of sources being tagged to first scan 
architecture includes, then the top-level include/ directory, and only 
then the rest. It also takes into account, that many architectures have 
more than one include directory, i.e., not only arch/$ARCH/include, but 
also arch/$ARCH/mach-X/include etc.

I am no expert in Kbuild, so, please, review, comment, suggest 
improvements, but at least, this does make TAGS usable for me.
