kbuild: clamp SUBLEVEL to 255
Right now if SUBLEVEL becomes larger than 255 it will overflow into the territory of PATCHLEVEL, causing havoc in userspace that tests for specific kernel version. While userspace code tests for MAJOR and PATCHLEVEL, it doesn't test SUBLEVEL at any point as ABI changes don't happen in the context of stable tree. Thus, to avoid overflows, simply clamp SUBLEVEL to it's maximum value in the context of LINUX_VERSION_CODE. This does not affect "make kernelversion" and such.
