setlocalversion: Include post Linus git tags in LOCALVERSION_AUTO

The localversion detection script assumes that if there's a tag
describing the commit the toplevel Makefile would indicate what
that version is. This is usually true because Linus tags a commit
and updates the Makefile at the same time to make a release.
Unfortunately this means that any other tags made on the kernel
are ignored and not used in the localversion output.

For example, consider Linus tagged v3.0-rc5 and I have worked on
a bunch of commits based off that tag and then tagged my branch
with another tag called "changes-for-linus". Ideally I would like
to see the kernel is based off v3.0-rc5 at the tag
changes-for-linus. When localversion detects the version it
assumes that the kernel is v3.0-rc5 because a tag is on the
current commit but it doesn't confirm that the tag matches the
Makefile. It then proceeds to throw away everything after the
patch level and git commit hash from git describe output so we
lost the tag changes-for-linus and are left with:

  v3.0-rc5-0003-g234ad

Instead of doing that always try to describe the tree regardless
of whether or not there is an exact match (unless we are doing
--short output and just want to put a + after the version).
Include the hash of the tag so that we get a bit more information
about the tree that was built, but be sure to throw away any tags
from Linus himself that start with v3.* so that we get output
like:

  v3.0-rc5-g1561da-linus-0003-g234ad
