[PATCH v2] ktest: Check kernelrelease return in get_version

[PATCH v2] ktest: Check kernelrelease return in get_version

[Ricardo B. Marliere]

In the case of a test that uses the special option ${KERNEL_VERSION} in one
of its settings but has no configuration available in ${OUTPUT_DIR}, for
example if it's a new empty directory, then the `make kernelrelease` call
will fail and the subroutine will chomp an empty string, silently. Fix that
by adding an empty configuration and retrying.
