linux: override build timestamp for reproducible builds

Linux kernel include a few information about build environment in its binary.
This feature is incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE. This patch overload build
information when BR2_REPRODUCIBLE is enabled.

Note that usage of KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is not mandatory since Buildroot
use `fakedate'. However, native solution is prefered when upstream
provide one.
