Upgrade Linux to 5.8

Note: as per #17911 (closed), we'll only update once 5.8 is in buster-backports, unless important enough security issues affecting 5.7.17-1 but fixed in 5.8 warrant a quicker update.

Process and checklist: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/Linux_kernel/

  • Bump to 5.8.0-2
  • Test the new kernel
  • Gather other data that will inform our decision
  • Make a decision wrt. Tails 4.12
  • Implement the decision
    • drop init_on_alloc=1 from kernel command line: INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON was enabled in 5.8.3-1~exp1
    • check if we can remove known issues doc: #13576 (comment 157264) → let's wait for the release with Linux 5.8 and see if the problem is fixed.
