docs/scripts/gdb: add necessary make scripts_gdb step

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 6b21943103 ]

In order to debug the kernel successfully with gdb you need to run

This was changed with the following commit:

Commit 67274c0834 ("scripts/gdb: delay generation of gdb

In order to have a complete guide for beginners this remark
should be added to the offial documentation.
