Subject: [PATCH] uml: fix W=1 missing-include-dirs warnings

Currently when using "W=1" with UML builds, there are over 700 warnings
like so:

  CC      arch/um/drivers/stderr_console.o
cc1: warning: ./arch/um/include/uapi: No such file or directory [-Wmissing-include-dirs]

but arch/um/ does not have include/uapi/ at all, so don't
include arch/um/include/uapi/ in USERINCLUDE for UML.

Option 2: change the setting of USERINCLUDE. This could alter
	(a) build times and
	(b) which header files get used: if there are multiple
	    header files named foobar.h in the $(USERINCLUDE)
	    subdirectories, this Option changes the order in which
	    they would be found.

Option 3: modify scripts/Makefile.extrawarn not to set
	-Wmissing-include-dirs for arch=um. I think that this is not
	a good idea: it could cause valid problem reports not to be
	reported.

Option 4: simply mkdir arch/um/include/uapi
	That's what I did first, just as a test, and it works.
