[PATCH v2] kbuild: make samples really depend on headers_install

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Aug 07 2018 - 22:15:12 EST


Kernel headers must be installed into $(objtree)/usr/include to avoid
the build failure of samples.

Commit ddea05fa148b ("kbuild: make samples depend on headers_install")
addressed this, but "samples/" is only used for the single target build.

"make samples/" properly installs kernel headers, but it does not work
for general building because a phony target "sample" (no trailing slash)
is used.
