perf: Version String fix, using kernel version
Changes the Perf --version string such that it shows the kernel
version as suggested by Ingo as follows:
That way the perf that comes with v2.6.34 will be:
perf version v2.6.34
while interim versions will have the version of the interim
kernel - for example:
perf version v2.6.35-rc4-70-g39ef13a
This functionality was already in the perf version generator
file except that it was looking for a .git in the perf directory
instead of the kernel directory.
