Commit 7ff525712acf "kbuild: fake the "Entering directory ..." message
more simply" changed the output of "make kernelrelease" such that the
kernel release version was not the last line printed. This broke various
tools that would find the kernel release with "make kernelrelease | tail -1".
One of those tools that broke was ktest.pl which resides in the kernel.
If the target of the make is "kernelrelease" do not print the
"Leaving directory ..." message at the end as that will break tools that
expect the kernelrelease version to be the last line outputted.
