kbuild: hardcode genksyms path and remove GENKSYMS variable
The genksyms source was integrated into the kernel tree in 2003.
I do not expect anybody still using the external /sbin/genksyms.
Kbuild does not need to provide the ability to override GENKSYMS.
Let's remove the GENKSYMS variable, and use the hardcoded path.
Since it occurred in the pre-git era, I attached the commit message
in case somebody is interested in the historical background.

| kbuild: [PATCH] put genksyms in scripts dir
|
| This puts genksyms into scripts/genksyms/.
|
| genksyms used to be maintained externally, though the only possible user
| was the kernel build. Moving it into the kernel sources makes it easier to
| keep it uptodate, like for example updating it to generate linker scripts
| directly instead of postprocessing the generated header file fragments
| with sed, as we do currently.
|
| Also, genksyms does not handle __typeof__, which needs to be fixed since
| some of the exported symbol in the kernel are defined using __typeof__.
