Description

After I set up a Lustre server and ran "lctl get_param -n version", I got:

[root@fat-intel-2 ~]# uname -a
Linux fat-intel-2.lab.whamcloud.com 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5_lustre.g42758c3 #1 SMP Wed Oct 5 21:19:10 PDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@fat-intel-2 ~]# lctl get_param -n version
lustre: 2.1.50
kernel: patchless_client
build:  jenkins-gb05ed4f-PRISTINE-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5_lustre.g42758c3

The node is not a patchless Lustre client, but the above command showed "kernel: patchless_client", which is confusable.

The "patchless_client" string is hard-coded in obd_proc_read_version() as Lustre kernel version without doing some checks.
