With commit "libbpf: stop enforcing kern_version,..." we removed the
kernel version section parsing in favor of querying for the kernel
using uname() and populating the version using the result of the
query. After this any version sections were simply ignored.
Unfortunately, the world of kernels is not so friendly. I've found some
customized kernels where uname() does not match the in kernel version.
To fix this so programs can load in this environment this patch adds
back parsing the section and if it exists uses the user specified
kernel version to override the uname() result. However, keep most the
kernel uname() discovery bits so users are not required to insert the
version except in these odd cases.
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
