kbuild: setlocalversion: print error to STDERR
commit 78283edf2c01c38eb840a3de5ffd18fe2992ab64 upstream. I tried to use 'make O=...' from an unclean source tree. This triggered the error path of setlocalversion. But by printing to STDOUT, it created a broken localversion which then caused another (unrelated) error: "4.7.0-rc2Error: kernelrelease not valid - run make prepare to update it" exceeds 64 characters After printing to STDERR, the true build error gets displayed later: /home/wsa/Kernel/linux is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/home/wsa/Kernel/linux' directory.
