Kernel: T8147: drop out-of-tree INOTIFY_STACKFS patch
5a2c894 
The inotify support for overlayfs is no longer needed. Native upstream support
landed in kernel 4.16 (commit 31747eda41ef/764baba80168 in 2018, which made
overlayfs hash inodes by their lower inode so fsnotify works on overlay mounts),
and kernel 6.8 (commit bc2473c90fca in 2023) extended it so fsnotify generates
events for operations on the real underlying files of an overlay.

The patch was an out-of-tree workaround that never went upstream and predates
these solutions.

Kernel: T8147: extract common CONFIG_* options to be reused
cc9550d 
It does not make sense to have the common VyOS functionality for e.g VXLAN,
GENEVE, PPP, WireGuard, filesystems crypto or module signing duplicated for
both arm64 and x86_64.

Split out common configuration parts to de defined only once.
