generic: 6.6: remove kernel export stripping patch

Our kernel export stripping has been broken on 6.6 from the start since
upstream kernel really reworked stuff in ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries
by modpost") and other commits as well.

So, until this is either fixed or reworked lets drop the patch as it doesnt
make sense to carry it knowing its broken and it can always be easily
restored.
