Subject: [PATCH] setlocalversion: add -e option

Set the -e option to ensure this script fails on any unexpected errors.

Without this change, the kernel build may continue running with an
incorrect string in include/config/kernel.release.

Currently, try_tag() returns 1 when the expected tag is not found as an
ancestor, but this is a case where the script should continue.

After '[PATCH v3] setlocalversion: work around "git describe" performance',
I need to remove "|| return 1" statements anyway, as it is not suitable
for the -e option.

  if []; then
      ...
  fi

is more consistent with the existing code.
