Bother - I always seem to miss something :-(

I have added the following (which is different yet again) to git.

According to https://lwn.net/Articles/447572/ it seems it isn't yet 100%
certain that the next version will be 3.0 rather than 3.0.0....  So I might
not need to push out a new version too quickly.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: [PATCH] util: correctly parse shorter linux version numbers.

The next version of Linux might be 3.0.  If it is, get_linux_version
will fail.
So make it more robust.
