kbuild: fix rebuild of generic syscall headers

Browse Source 
Commit fbb5c0606f ("kbuild: add syscall table generation to
scripts/Makefile.asm-headers") started to generate syscall headers
for architectures using generic syscalls.

However, these headers are always rebuilt using GNU Make 4.4.1 or newer.

When using GNU Make 4.4 or older, these headers are not rebuilt when the
command to generate them is changed, despite the use of the if_changed
macro.

scripts/Makefile.asm-headers now uses FORCE, but it is not marked as
.PHONY. To handle the command line change correctly, .*.cmd files must
be included.
