[PATCHv2] remove recently added perl build requirement

From: Rob Landley
Date: Mon Jan 12 2015 - 11:54:52 EST


From: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd")
added perl back to the kernel build dependencies in -rc6.

Replace those 39 lines of perl with 4 lines of shell script.

Note: checkpatch.pl isn't a build dependency, it's a development dependency
(like bloat-o-meter being written in python or "make xconfig" needing QT).
Those aren't things you need to add to your cross compile environment
to produce a binary. Different category of dependency.
