Refs freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation#1267.

Two changes:

  • Run make olddefconfig for workstation with Linux 6.6.83. This just sets the defaults of the new kernel flags in our config file.
    • To make the next commit easier to review.
  • Build exfat module on workstation. I set CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=m and then ran make olddefconfig, which set the charset value.

I'm building kernels with this right now; once we've verified this is sufficient for loading an exfat drive we can merge it.

I tested this and the built workstation kernel successfully mounted an exFAT drive. Ready for review!
