kbuild: do not descend to ./Kbuild when cleaning
'make clean' descends into ./Kbuild, but does not clean anything since everything is added to no-clean-files. There is no need to descend to ./Kbuild in the first place. We can drop the no-clean-files assignment. With this, there is no more user of no-clean-files. I will keep it for a while to see whether a new user will appear.
