There should be no reason to keep the qemu_arm_vexpress target
on an older kernel release, so change this to build with the latest
Linux kernel release for buildroot.

Hello Florian,
Thanks for your contribution.

There is a reason why all defconfigs used a fixed U-Boot / kernel
version: we want those versions to have been tested and confirmed to
work on the target platform.
So, a patch updating to Linux 4.16 would be fine, but not a patch that
changes to automatically use the latest version.
Best regards,
Thomas

Ok. I'll send in a new patch for a known current version.
