[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 O:linux-gcp, but was missed in the fork to Plucky.

[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.
