kbuild: fix 'make rpm' when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using SCM tree
Running 'make rpm' fails when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using a kernel source tree under SCM. This is due to KERNELRELEASE being different when the initial make is run and when make is run from rpmbuild. mkspec creates kernel.spec using KERNELRELEASE: <mkspec> echo "%files" echo '%defattr (-, root, root)' echo "%dir /lib/modules" echo "/lib/modules/$KERNELRELEASE" echo "/lib/firmware" echo "/boot/*" echo "" </mkspec> When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y scripts/setlocalversion is called and grabs any additional version info from SCM. Next, the srctree is tarred up and SCM information is excluded. rpmbuild reruns make and in the process generates a new include/config/kernel.release and thus a new KERNELRELEASE. However this time the SCM information is gone so KERNELRELEASE no longer has the additional version information. When "make modules_install" runs, it uses the new KERNELRELEASE value to determine where to install the m...
