This is necessary due to CVE-2017-100251.
Note that the 4.8 kernel was not LTS, so it not longer receives support

Bump from 4.8.12 to 4.8.17. A change in kernel tools makes this patch
necessary, as an error in the kernel-cache caused a bad configuration.

This updates the linux-yocto 4.8 bbappends to use the 4.8 final kernel.
Also, we finally add the preempt-rt recipe since the rt patches are
available with no obvious defects.

* Add backport patch "Using BUG_ON() as an assert() is _never_ acceptable"

Preliminary testing on the 4.8 kernel has gone well with no major
defects found on Intel hardware.
The preempt-rt patches are not yet available for the -rt kernel, so only
add the base and tiny linux-yocto recipes for now.
