kbuild: generate asm-generic wrappers if mandatory headers are missing
Some time ago, Sam pointed out a certain degree of overwrap between generic-y and mandatory-y. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/10/121) I tweaked the meaning of mandatory-y a little bit; now it defines the minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have. If arch does not have specific implementation of a mandatory header, Kbuild will let it fallback to the asm-generic one by automatically generating a wrapper. This will allow to drop lots of redundant generic-y defines. Previously, "mandatory" was used in the context of UAPI, but I guess this can be extended to kernel space ASM headers.
