Subject: [PATCH] include: Do not alter KERNELRELEASE for external/git kernels

In case we use external and/or git cloned kernels, let the kernel
determine the appropriate KERNELRELEASE. We cannot used
LINUX_UNAME_VERSION because that one gets determined at a later time,
when the kernel is already built proper.
