[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-modules 1/3] Fix: debian kernel version parsing

The debian version script only worked for ckt kernels and that was fine
until now because we only had checks for those versions in the code.

ckt (Canonical Kernel Team) kernels were used for a while during the jessie
cycle, their versionning is a bit different. They track the upstream vanilla
stable updates but they don't update the minor version number and instead add
an additionnal -cktX. They were all 3.16.7-cktX and after a while the version
switched back to upstream style at 3.16.36.

Knowing that, we can compare regular debian and ckt kernel versions
using this scheme :

  MAJOR.PATCHLEVEL.SUBLEVEL.CKT.DEBABI.DEBPATCH

And setting CKT to zero for non-ckt kernels.
