Previously, we would only set a default value, on the theory that `boot.kernelPackages` could be used to sanely configure a custom grsec kernel. Regrettably, this is not the case and users who expect e.g., `boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest` to work will end up with a non-grsec kernel (this problem has come up twice on the bug tracker recently). With this patch, `security.grsecurity.enable = true` implies `boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_grsec_nixos` and any customization must be done via package override or by eschewing the module.
