Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

Impact: shiftfs is built into the kernel, but there's no need for it to
be built-in. It seems this was by mistake.

Fix: Make it a module instead. Also add it to the generic inclusion list
so that it is usable with linux-virtual.

Regression Potential: Minimal, see testing results below.

Test Case: Boot with shitfs built as a module and confirm that lxd still
works with shiftfs. I have done this and confirmed that lxd still works
as expected.
