Fix the Linux kernel version number calculation

Description

Fix the Linux kernel version number calculation

The Linux compatibility code was converting the version number (e.g.
2.6.32) in two different ways and then comparing the results.

The linux_map_osrel() function converted MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH similar to
what FreeBSD does natively. I.e. where major=v0, minor=v1, and patch=v2

v = v0 * 1000000 + v1 * 1000 + v2;

The LINUX_KERNVER() macro, on the other hand, converted the value with
bit shifts. I.e. where major=a, minor=b, and patch=c

v = (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

The Linux kernel uses the later format via the KERNEL_VERSION() macro in
include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h

Fix is to use the LINUX_KERNVER() macro in linux_map_osrel() as well as
in the .trans_osrel functions.
