Jenkins appends to LOCALVERSION string for every build

Found the solution. Jenkins environment variable was messing with the kernel release string. You can change this behaviour in the main kernel makefile:

# KERNELRELEASE can change from a few different places, meaning version.h
# needs to be updated, so this check is forced on all builds

uts_len := 64
ifneq (,$(BUILD_NUMBER))
	UTS_RELEASE=$(KERNELRELEASE)-ab$(BUILD_NUMBER)
else
	UTS_RELEASE=$(KERNELRELEASE)
endif
