Bumps the mkosi guest kernel from 6.18.40 to 6.18.59 to pick up the fix for CVE-2026-98432 (IPv4 inet_opt/ireq_opt use-after-free, fixed in 6.18.56).

  • Tarball hash taken from kernel.org sha256sums.asc and checked against the GPG-verified tarball (signed by Greg Kroah-Hartman).
  • Drops patches 0003 and 0005 from the mkosi build: both are now in linux-6.18.y. The remaining patches apply with --fuzz=0.

Out-of-tree modules built against the 6.18.40 kernel-devel artifact must be rebuilt (vermagic changes, no MODVERSIONS).

6.18.40 is affected by CVE-2026-98432, a use-after-free in
ip_options_build() caused by freeing inet_opt/ireq_opt without waiting
for an RCU grace period. The fix landed in 6.18.56.

Patches 0003 (dma-direct) and 0005 (swiotlb) are now in linux-6.18.y
and reverse-apply cleanly on 6.18.59, so mkosi stops applying them. The
deprecated Yocto backend keeps them for its own pinned kernel.
