Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] kbuild: Make sure to generate System.map file

After commit 75cffd392bfa ("LoongArch: Using generic scripts/install.sh
in `make install`"), arch/loongarch/boot/install.sh is usually not used,
either /root/bin/installkernel or /sbin/installkernel is used if found.

It should generate System.map when using the script installkernel on x86
and LoongArch Fedora Linux system according to the man pages but it does
not in practice, just copy it to the installation path.
