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 and dont allow for STRIP_KERNEL_EXPORTS
to be selected on 6.6.

It doesn't make sense to carry it knowing its broken and it can always be easily restored.

STRIP_KERNEL_EXPORTS is currently not working on kernel 6.6 as there
have been major changes in the upstream kernel.

I have looked at it, and I dont think we can adapt the current patch to
work so until this is fixed lets prevent STRIP_KERNEL_EXPORTS from
being selected on 6.6.
