Rolf Neugebauer 130e546fcf kernel: Update kernel to 4.4.45/4.9.17/4.10.5
In 4.10.5 and 4.9.17 include a fix for the VMBus memory leak,
cherry-picked from char-misc: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/?h=char-misc-linus&id=5e030d5ce9d99a899b648413139ff65bab12b038

This patch was tested with the 4.10.5 kernel and the Hyper-V
Socket stress test. It was forwarded to stable@vger to be
included in one of the next stable releases.

Also remove the CPU ACCT revert as 17.03.1-rc1 is out and has a fix

Linux kernel builds, based on mostly-vanilla upstream Linux kernels. See [../docs/kernel-patches.md] for how the local patches in patches-* are maintained.

The build is mostly silent. A local build can be run via make. To view the output use docker log -f <containerid>. The build creates multiple containers, so multiple invocations may be necessary. To view the full build output one may also invoke docker build . and then copy the build artefacts from the image afterwards.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
