The compilation of the kernel module KNI is optional.
The kernel headers should be required for DPDK compilation.
Fixes: 91a861e54164 ("config: disable Linux kernel modules by default")

If someone does want to build kni, we actually have a check in meson.build
for kernel build headers, giving a suitable error if they are missed.
Therefore I think this can go.
