[SRU][j:gcp/gcp-6.8/gke, n:gcp/gke][PATCH 0/1] Move IDPF driver to linux-modules

[Impact]

Google requested the IDPF driver be changed from a built-in module to a
loadable module in the linux-modules package.

[Fix]

Add drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/* to the inclusion-list and change
CONFIG_IDPF to build the driver as a loadable module rather than a
built-in. The j:gcp-6.8 patch only changes the inclusion-list because
it will receive the config change during the backport process.

[Test Plan]

List files in the linux-modules package and verify that idpf.ko is there.

[Regression potential]

The regression potential is very low since we are provably moving a
module to linux-modules.
