[Libguestfs] [PATCH p2v 1/2] make-disk: Don't upgrade the kernel to avoid kernel command line bug

[Richard W.M. Jones]

There is some bug in recent Fedora which prevents the kernel from
being upgraded correctly from libguestfs.  As an example of what
happens and how to reproduce it see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1945835#c24

This problem causes the kernel command line to be messed up (including
bits of the libguestfs appliance /proc/cmdline), and this prevents
virt-p2v from finding the root filesystem.

This patch is just a workaround for this bug.  By preventing the
kernel* package from being upgraded we continue to use the working
kernel from the template.  Userspace packages in the template get
updated as before.
