doc: drop reference to KNI from Linux guide

The KNI library is disabled by default in DPDK and is already documented
in the programmers guide and also in the sample application guide. There
are also in-kernel alternatives to it.  Therefore, we can drop the
(already fairly minimal) reference to it from the Linux GSG.

-Loading the DPDK KNI Kernel Module
-----------------------------------
-
-To run the DPDK Kernel NIC Interface (KNI) sample application, an extra kernel module (the kni module) must be loaded into the running kernel.
-The module is found in the kernel/linux sub-directory of the DPDK build directory.
-It should be loaded using the insmod command::
-
-   insmod <build_dir>/kernel/linux/kni/rte_kni.ko
-
-.. note::
-
-   See the "Kernel NIC Interface Sample Application" chapter in the *DPDK Sample Applications User Guide* for more details.
