CONFIG options for (ipip, sit) should not be built-in to the KVM

Bug description:
CONFIG_NET_IPIP and CONFIG_IPV6_SIT are set to =y in the -kvm kernels.
This means that they are always present in the kernel, and the virtual
devices they created (tunl0 and sit0) are always present, even when
not configured and not needed.
This is causing some issues for clouds that use the -kvm flavour, and
there is no good reason for those configuration options to be =y
anyway.
So they should be converted to =m instead.
[Regression potential]
- I'm not aware of any. General consensus is that these options
should have been =m all along.
