kbuild: Enforce UTS limit, use LANG=C for date/time

Patch by Keith Owens, ported to 2.5.

If the length of $(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)
exceeds 64 characters it silently corrupts the utsname data, resulting
in garbage for uname -r and problems running the kernel and modules.
Abort if KERNELRELEASE is too long.  Truncation is not good enough, it
results in ambiguous /lib/modules/`uname -r` contents.

Ensure that the date/time in uname are always in LANG=C.  Users with
other languages report that 8 bit values cause the boot messages to go
haywire.
