Adds new macro KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION(a,b,c,d) and value
LINUX_EXTRAVERSION_CODE to version.h, allowing ranged version checks of
extended-stable versions that use a numeric EXTRAVERSION value.
The new KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION(a,b,c,d) works like KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c)...
If EXTRAVERSION is set to ".{integer}" (the common extended-stable kernel
version number scheme) then {integer} corresponds to KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION's
fourth arg. If EXTRAVERSION is blank or a non-".{integer}" string like
"-rc5", that corresponds to a fourth parameter of 0.
Example usage:
#if ( LINUX_EXTRAVERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION(3,13,11,5) )
// compiles for (3.13.11 with "EXTRAVERSION = .5") or greater value
#endif
