remove KNI

The KNI driver had design flaws such as calling userspace with kernel
mutex held that made it prone to deadlock. The design also introduced
security risks because the kernel driver trusted the userspace
(DPDK) kni interface. The kernel driver was never reviewed by
the upstream kernel community and would never have been accepted.

And since the Linux kernel API is not stable, it was a continual
source of maintenance issues especially with distribution kernels.

There are better ways to inject packets into the kernel such as
virtio_user, tap and XDP drivers. All of these do not need out of
tree kernel drivers.

The deprecation was announced in 22.11 release (see links for the
the techboard discussions); and users were directed to alternatives
there.
