Apparently /proc needs it; it's normally implemented using get_link if
readlink isn't implemented but proc's get_link crashes the kernel in
this case (because nameidata is only defined for open* paths)

While we are here:
- fix uname -r (single quote?!)
- add compat for rhel8 (el kernel and version is 4.18)
- also remove linux version check in mcreboot.sh, trust configure check

rhel8 is a 4.18 kernel but they've already backported some later fixes.
Instead of relying on the kernel version, the changes removed some defines so
we can check for the define presence to make the code more robust to kernel
version wilderness instead

This newer version is much simpler than the old ones:
- the options are noop, this lets the code simplify all the allocating
of a new option struct and passing it around
- ovl_reset_ovl_entry was added and called all the time, but the
mechanism that made this required is gone in this kernel version
On the other hand, one new thing in this version:
- newer kernel check the stacking depth of filesystems now, and we are
reaching the default limit of two with our setup. Bump it to three here.
Also, while we are here, make make fail if requested directory does not
exist, instead of infinitely recurse into make modules in the mcoverlayfs
directory...

- make should be $(MAKE)
- add + in front of rules spawning long-lasted make process in a
subshell. (This would not be needed with $(MAKE) -C .. target, but our
makefiles do not handle that because they use $(PWD))
- split the main 'all' rule as all 4 targets are independant
- fix dependencies where appropriate for parallelism
Extra, not speed-related changes:
- remove some double-colon for targets as they do not need it
This cuts build time from 5s to 1.5s on a laptop with -j4, and more
importantly from 85s to 35s on a KNL node.
As a bonus, the fixed dependencies removes the need to clean before
rebuilding all the time. Probably.
