- Remove kernel-devel Runtime dependency from libxdp1.

I sure do hope this dependency is just wrong - having kernel-devel on every single machine using the library sounds just wrong.

Yeah that does seems kind of weird. Some BPF tool requires compilation at runtime, and needs kernel-devel being present. But I don't think libxdp does that.

Will check with upstream about this requirement. In the mean time I think it's fine to remove this requirement.
