kbuild: in makefile.txt note that Makefile is preferred name for kbuild files
As noted by Roland Dreier <rdreier@cisco.com> makefiles.txt told one to use the name 'Kbuild' as preferred name for kbuild files. This is not yet true so let makefiles.txt reflect reality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
