[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. Another config was made redundant with this change so it was
removed from the debian.gcp config annotations. This change was
previously applied to several other kernels, but the patchset did not
include Oracular linux-gcp.

[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.
