SRU Justification

[Impact]

The new networking module mana.ko is not included with linux-modules, rather it
is packaged in linux-modules-extra. Instance types that have mana.ko as a boot
dependency will not work since Azure images are not created using linux-image-extra.
Solve this issue by building MANA into the kernel.

[Test Case]

Download build info and check for CONFIG_MICROSOFT_MANA=y

[Where things might go wrong]

The MANA network might not start.

[Other Info]

Backported derivatives (bionix:linux-azure-5.4, focal:linux-azure-5.11) will get
this change when cranking.
