linux5.18: set CONFIG_VMGENID to y rather than m
Quoting from the kernel's Kconfig file:

  config VMGENID
          tristate "Virtual Machine Generation ID driver"
          default y
          depends on ACPI
          help
            Say Y here to use the hypervisor-provided Virtual Machine Generation ID
            to reseed the RNG when the VM is cloned. This is highly recommended if
            you intend to do any rollback / cloning / snapshotting of VMs.

            Prefer Y to M so that this protection is activated very early.

The recommendation and default value is Y over M. This commit changes
the linux5.18 package config to use the suggested value.

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

linux5.18: set CONFIG_VMGENID to y rather than m
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/37444

Description:
Quoting from the kernel's Kconfig file:

```
  config VMGENID
          tristate "Virtual Machine Generation ID driver"
          default y
          depends on ACPI
          help
            Say Y here to use the hypervisor-provided Virtual Machine Generation ID
            to reseed the RNG when the VM is cloned. This is highly recommended if
            you intend to do any rollback / cloning / snapshotting of VMs.

            Prefer Y to M so that this protection is activated very early.
```

The recommendation and default value is Y over M. This commit changes
the linux5.18 package config to use the suggested value.
