[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi][morty][PATCH 4/6] linux-raspberrypi: Drop v4.8

[Khem Raj]

4.8 will build until rpi kernel folks rebase the branch :( moving
forward, we should only keep stable branches which they dont rebase
hopefully and 1 more recipe called linux-raspberrypi_dev.bb to track
the latest upstream release, so it will be clear that this is a dev
kernel.
