mkosi: Drop locale workaround

mkosi will always run all commands with the C.UTF-8 locale so we
don't need a workaround in the build script anymore.

 # The bpftool script shipped by Ubuntu tries to find the actual program to run via querying `uname -r` and
 # using the current kernel version. This obviously doesn't work in containers. As a workaround, we override
 # the ubuntu script with a symlink to the first bpftool program we can find.
