Pull request overview

Disables building the kernel selftests subpackage via rpmbuild --without selftests to avoid current kselftests packaging issues, and bumps the kernel package release macro to ensure a new NVR is produced.

Changes:

• Add selftests to the kernel component build.without list to skip the selftests-internal subpackage.
• Bump azl_pkgrelease from 8 → 9 to avoid reusing the previous NVR with a changed output set.
• Refresh the kernel.lock input fingerprint to reflect the component config change.
