Enable XDP in Kernel Config

[goproslowyo]

Cilium has support for express data path but needs it enabled in the kernel and it doesn't currently appear that Talos Linux enables this configuration option. This is especially important while working at higher network speeds — 10 Gbps and above, which is becoming more commonplace as the standard in both enterprise and consumer gear.
