Subject: [PATCH] Remove too strict checking for kernel on startup

Nowadays empty kernel is automatically converted to pvgrub2, so don't
refuse that value.

Fixes: ba8bc655 "Allow setting "none" kernel to use in-vm kernel in any virt_mode"

QubesOS/qubes-issues#5212

(cherry picked from commit 9498dfe5cdd8cea5b09b62cae27ebdee77ab5efd)
