Subject: [PATCH] samples: watch_queue: add HEADERS_INSTALL dependency

samples/watch_queue/Makefile specifies the header search path
-I$(objtree)/usr/include, which is probaby needed to include
<linux/watch_queue.h> etc.

To make it work properly, add "depends on HEADERS_INSTALL" so that
headers are installed into $(objtree)/usr/include before building
this sample.

Fixes: 7141642ed120 ("Add sample notification program")

Arnd reported a build error:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/6/665

Missing "depends on HEADERS_INSTALL" is the only reason
I have in my mind.

If it still fails to build, I do not know why.
