Patch 2/2: koops: do not assume version has 3 levels none

Description Matej Habrnal 2016-09-22 13:25:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
The function parsing kernel's version was expecting one of the strings
mentioned in Summary. Unfortunately, none of them appears in oopses for
kernel-4.*.*

For instance, if the kernel is in version 4.5.0-3.el7.aarch64, koops_extract_version() matches the kernel version as 3.el7.aarch64 (expects the version starts with 3.*.) This causes abrt remove oops dump directory because a tool abrt-action-save-package-data can't find information about package kernel-3.el7.aarch64.

In case the kernel is in version 4.5.0-2.el7.aarch64, koops_extract_version() don't match the version as valid and uname -r version is used instead.
