Masahiro Yamada 7a82e3fa28 scripts/setlocalversion: clear local variable to make it work for sh 
Geert Uytterhoeven reports a strange side-effect of commit 858805b336
("kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with bash-extension"), which
inserts the contents of a localversion file in the build directory twice.

[Steps to Reproduce]
  $ echo bar > localversion
  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build/
  $ echo foo > localversion
  $ make -s -f ../Makefile defconfig include/config/kernel.release
  $ cat include/config/kernel.release
  5.4.0-rc1foofoobar

This comes down to the behavior change of local variables.

The 'man sh' on my Ubuntu machine, where sh is an alias to dash,
explains as follows:
  When a variable is made local, it inherits the initial value and
  exported and readonly flags from the variable with the same name
  in the surrounding scope, if there is one. Otherwise, the variable
  is initially unset.

[Test Code]

  foo ()
  {
          local res
          echo "res: $res"
  }

  res=1
  foo

[Result]

  $ sh test.sh
  res: 1
  $ bash test.sh
  res:

So, scripts/setlocalversion correctly works only for bash in spite of
its hashbang being #!/bin/sh. Nobody had noticed it before because
CONFIG_SHELL was previously set to bash almost all the time.

Now that CONFIG_SHELL is set to sh, we must write portable and correct
code. I gave the Fixes tag to the commit that uncovered the issue.

Clear the variable 'res' in collect_files() to make it work for sh
(and it also works on distributions where sh is an alias to bash).

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.
