[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/2] kconfig: make setlocalversion -dirty check optional

[Paul E. McKenney]

The git commands that check for uncommitted changes can be quite
expensive, so this patch introduces an environment variable named
KBUILD_CONFIG_NO_CHECK_DIRTY to control these checks for git.
If KBUILD_CONFIG_NO_CHECK_DIRTY is unset or is set to an empty
string, the dirty checks are performed (the default).  Otherwise,
KBUILD_CONFIG_NO_CHECK_DIRTY is set to some non-empty string, and the
dirty checks are omitted.
