The 'install_headers' target always prints 'INSTALL libsubcmd_headers',
even no command was actually updated. This also happens during a regular
kernel build when objtool is enabled. Such output is unnecessary and a
bit distracting.
Avoid the spurious output by using the header directory as intermediate
target which will inhibit the message when no headers are updated.
