Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Remove stale asm-generic wrappers

When a header file is removed from generic-y (often accompanied by the
addition of an arch specific header), the generated wrapper file will
persist, and in some cases may still take precedence over the new arch
header.

For example commit f1fe2d21f4e1 ("MIPS: Add definitions for extended
context") removed ucontext.h from generic-y in arch/mips/include/asm/,
and added an arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/ucontext.h. The continued use of
the wrapper when reusing a dirty build tree resulted in build failures
in arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:

arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function ‘sc_to_extcontext’:
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:142:12: error: ‘struct ucontext’ has no member named ‘uc_extcontext’
  return &uc->uc_extcontext;
            ^

Fix by detecting wrapper headers in generated header directories that do
not correspond to a filename in generic-y, and removing them.
