Subject: [PATCH 7/7] kbuild: do not re-run setlocalversion for kernelrelease

Revert:
  - 7b8ea53d7f18 ("makefile: not need to regenerate kernel.release
    file when make kernelrelease")

  - 01ab17887f4c ("Makefile: "make kernelrelease" should show the
    correct full kernel version")

I think the original behavior was better - 'make kernelrelease' should
print $(KERNELRELEASE) used in the last build, not the one that will
be used in the next build. Therefore, it is an error if you run it in
the pristine source tree.
