Masahiro Yamada 25b080bd53 kbuild: rpm-pkg: fix version number handling
The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
.version file.

However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
always indicates #1.  This does not match with "rpm -q".

The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
created.  Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion.  This script returns an
incremented version.  So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
greater than the version in the kernel by one.

For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.

For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
because it contains the version number that was used for building the
kernel image.

We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
not touch the .version file.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
