/*
 * procps_linux_version
 *
 * Return the current running Linux version release as shown in
 * the procps filesystem.
 *
 * There are three ways you can get OS release:
 *  1) /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease - returns correct version of procfs
 *  2) /proc/version - returns version of kernel e.g. BSD this is wrong
 *  3) uname and uts.release - same as /proc/version field #3
 *
 * Returns: version as an integer
 * Negative value means an error
