mips: Fix non-POSIX regexp
When cross compiling a MIPS kernel on a BSD based HOSTCC leads
to errors like
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd - due to: .config
egrep: empty (sub)expression
UPD include/config/kernel.release
HOSTCC scripts/dtc/dtc.o - due to target missing
It turns out that egrep uses this egrep pattern:
(|MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)
This is not valid syntax or gives undefined results according
to POSIX 9.5.3 ERE Grammar
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html
It seems to be silently accepted by the Linux egrep implementation
while a BSD host complains.
Such patterns can be replaced by a transformation like
"(|p1|p2)" -> "(p1|p2)?"
Fixes: 48c35b2 ("[MIPS] There is no __GNUC_MAJOR__")
