Linux: bump minimum kernel version to 4.18
Motivation and Context
I started cutting things out in #16434. Everyone loved it, and wanted more. I'm nothing if not a crowd pleaser!
Description
Just like last time, but this time the minimum is 4.18, as the base kernel for RHEL8.
Since last time, more stuff removed. Following comments there, I've left DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, and the baseline checks.
How Has This Been Tested?
Compile checked on kernel.org kernels:
- 4.19.319
- 5.4.281
- 5.10.223
- 6.1.102
- 6.2.16
- 6.3.13
- 6.5.13
- 6.6.43
- 6.7.12
- 6.8.12
- 6.9.12
- 6.10.2
- 6.11-rc2
