kheaders: exclude include/generated/utsversion.h from kheaders_data.tar.xz

CONFIG_IKHEADERS has a reproducibility issue because the contents of
kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz can vary depending on how you build the
kernel.

If you build the kernel with CONFIG_IKHEADERS enabled from a pristine
state, the tarball does not include include/generated/utsversion.h.

  $ make -s mrproper
  $ make -s defconfig
  $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_IKHEADERS
  $ make -s
  $ tar Jtf kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz | grep utsversion

However, if you build the kernel with CONFIG_IKHEADERS disabled first
and then enable it later, the tarball does include
include/generated/utsversion.h.

  $ make -s mrproper
  $ make -s defconfig
  $ make -s
  $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_IKHEADERS
  $ make -s
  $ tar Jtf kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz | grep utsversion
  ./include/generated/utsversion.h

It is not predictable whether a stale include/generated/utsversion.h
remains when kheaders_data.tar.xz is generated.

For better reproducibility, include/generated/utsversions.h should
always be omitted. It is not necessary for the kheaders anyway.
