[PATCH 3/7] kbuild: adjust .version updating

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

In order to maintain a more correct build number, updates to the
version
number should only be commited after a successful link of vmlinux, not
before (so that errors in the link process don't lead to pointless
increments).
