c0ff68f161 kbuild: fix make headers_install when path is too long
If headers_install is executed from a deep/long directory structure, the
shell's maximum argument length can be execeeded, which breaks the operation
with:

| make[2]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
| make[2]: ***

Instead of passing each files name with the entire path, I give only the file
name without the source path and give this path as a new argument to
headers_install.pl.

Because there is three possible paths, I have tree input-files list, one per
path.

e0e2fa4b51 headers_install.pl: convert to headers_install.sh
Remove perl from make headers_install by replacing a perl script (doing a
simple regex search and replace) with a smaller, faster, simpler,
POSIX-2008 shell script implementation.  The new shell script is a single
for loop calling sed and piping its output through unifdef to produce the
target file.

Same as last time except for minor tweak to deal with code review from
here: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.3/00078.html

(Note that this drops the "arch" argument, which isn't used. Kbuild
already points to the right input files on the command line.)
