gendwarfksyms: Define __GENKSYMS__ when processing <asm/asm-protoypes.h>

Ensure that __GENKSYMS__ is #define'd when passing <asm/asm-prototypes.h>
through the compiler to capture the exported symbols. This ensures that
exported symbols such as __ref_stack_chk_guard on x86, which is declared
conditionally, is visible to the tool.

Otherwise the build might break when CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS=y:

  <stdin>:4:15: error: use of undeclared identifier '__ref_stack_chk_guard'
