Subject: [PATCH] net/tap: remove unused kernel version definitions

[ upstream commit d732ec19dcad45070c85e5b43aca95b2d49ec8a6 ]

The TAP device does not use these definitions in current version.
And kernel version is not the correct way to detect features.

Fixes: 7c2d03d65f5e ("net/tap: remove Linux version check")
