Subject: Fix 'make links' error on arm64

Hi all,

Running 'make links' in sys/kern works, but produces a confusing error
message on arm64:

  /bin/sh: cd: /usr/src/sys/lib/libkern/arch/aarch64 - No such file or directory

The ${DGEN} variable includes lib/libkern/arch/${MACHINE_ARCH}, but this
directory doesn't exist for all architectures. The patch below checks if
each directory exists before attempting to cd into it and avoids the
error message.

Thanks,
Thorsten
