Remove the temporary kernel version pin. The pinned kernel (`6.14.0-37`) was needed to work around a `folio_split()` race condition bug that caused data corruption and xnet test failures. The fix was backported to Ubuntu's HWE kernel `6.17.0-14.14`; the current unpinned kernel (`6.17.0-20`) includes it. Tested change on `xnet_slo_29_subnets_test`, the initial test that failed due to the bug.

First pinned in dfinity#8957 and unpinned in dfinity#9843, pin it once again to avoid the [memory bug](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=577a1f495fd78d8fb61b67ac3d3b595b01f6fcb0). We thought the patch was backported to our ubuntu, but it was not. We will update the kernel to a version with the patch, with the efforts in dfinity#9989.
