While this is indeed a bug that this patch fixes, I wonder if we should
actually get rid of this whole versioning attempt altogether at this
point. Originally this was following the containing kernel version, but
it is stuck ever since at v3.18, without any change.

So either we introduce proper versioning (not sure it's worth it?), or we
just remove all code that pretends to print a version number? Or just
hardcode v3.18 into the printf, at least for now? At the very least I
think we don't need a KVMTOOLS-VERSION-FILE anymore.

Cheers,
Andre
