The Makefile uses `KERN_MAJ = $(shell uname -r | cut -d . -f1)` to
determine if the kernel version is <7, which enables building vboxvideo.

Therefore, with a host kernel >=7 and a target kernel <7, vboxvideo is
not built and we get this error in vboxsf:

```

If the missmatch is reversed, there is probably a different error.

To fix this we provide the actual target kernel version via the KERN_MAJ
Makefile variable

Note: The kernel version might be empty during parsing (e.g. when using
linux-dummy), therefore `or ''` is needed.
