[PATCH 1/2] perf: Version String fix, using kernel version

[Thavidu Ranatunga]

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.
