um: virtio_uml: Disallow modular build

This driver *can* be a module, but then its parameters (socket path)
are untrusted data from inside the VM, and that isn't allowed. Allow
the code to only be built-in to avoid that.

* virtio_uml.device=<socket>:<virtio_id>[:<platform_id>]
* where:
* <socket> := vhost-user socket path to connect
