[ Impact ]
* Multiple kernel flavours are conflicting with each on .deb / file level via their tools packages
* Resolve the conflicting private libcpupower.so by statically linking it into the only C binary that uses said library in the linux-tools
[ Test Plan ]
* co-install tools packages from multiple kernel flavours of the same major version and abi, it should be successful
[ Where problems could occur ]
* If one tries really hard to find the private location of libcpupower.so and dlopen it by ever changing abi name, that will not be possible, until the separate bug report is fixed to introduce the public stable libcpupower.so.1 which so far ubuntu has never yet provided.
[ Other Info ]
* original bug report
Taking linux-kvm and linux-gcp for example:
$ dpkg-deb --contents linux-gcp-tools-6.2.0-1011_6.2.0-1011.11_amd64.deb | grep libcpupower
-rw-r--r-- root/root 103384 2023-07-25 20:00 ./usr/lib/libcpupower.so.6.2.0-1011
$ dpkg-deb --contents linux-kvm-tools-6.2.0-1011_6.2.0-1011.11_amd64.deb | grep libcpupower
-rw-r--r-- root/root 103392 2023-08-16 15:08 ./usr/lib/libcpupower.so.6.2.0-1011
linux-gcp-tools-6.2.0-1011 and linux-kvm-tools-6.2.0-1011 both contain a libcpupower.so.6.2.0-1011 shared library used by their own cpupower utilities, and yet files of the same full path cannot be installed from two distinct debian packages, which follows we won't be able to install two linux-tools packages of two different derived kernels on the same system.

Remove linux-kvm and affects linux because this is common to all derived kernels.
