Subject: [GIT] kbuild setlocalversion fix

Hi Linus,

There is a fix to the Makefile not to run scripts/setlocalversion and
various git commands on every invocation. This was also the case
previously with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y, but after 85a256d (kbuild:
improve version string logic) it happens during every build. Dmitry
Torokhov complained that make install in a sshfs-mounted tree takes
extremely long, it also goes against the idea that root should only run
the necessary minimum of commands. The first patch has been in
linux-next for a couple of days and I got no complaints, the second one
is just a minor fix over it and should be safe.

Michal
