Subject: [PATCH] Remove unnecessary Linode-specific instructions

Modern versions of Docker work just fine on Linode's default kernel
thanks to the `overlay2` storage driver.

Closes #2675

-## Enable AUFS Storage Driver
-
-When installing Dokku on a newly-created Linode server, you'll likely see an error during Docker installation:
-
-> Warning: current kernel is not supported by the linux-image-extra-virtual package.  We have no AUFS support.  Consider installing the packages linux-image-virtual kernel and linux-image-extra-virtual for AUFS support.
-
-After 10 seconds, the installation will continue as normal.
-
-This warning is the result of Linode using its own kernel, which does not support AUFS, instead of using the kernel supplied by Debian/Ubuntu. If you ignore the warning, Docker will fall back to using the DeviceMapper storage backend and Dokku will work normally. However, AUFS is better tested and will perform better.
-
-To avoid this error message and use AUFS, follow the steps below to select the GRUB 2 kernel.
-
-
-### Select the GRUB 2 kernel instead of the default Linode kernel:
-
-1. Login to your [Linode Manager](http://manager.linode.com), open the `Dashboard` associated with your new server.
-2. Click `Edit` for the `Configuration Profile`. You should now be on the `Edit Configuration Profile` page.
-3. Scroll down to `Boot Settings` > `Kernel menu`. Change the "Kernel" option to "GRUB 2" and save your changes.
-4. If you have already pushed the `Boot` button and your server is running, you will need to reboot it before continuing. Otherwise, you can now push the `Boot` button to start your server and proceed with the normal Dokku installation.
-
-Once your server comes back online, you'll be running Ubuntu's default kernel. You can now follow Dokku's [normal installation instructions](/dokku/getting-started/installation/) and `bootstrap.sh` will take care of everything else.
-
-
-### Verify that you are using AUFS:
-
-Once you have fully installed Dokku and rebooted your server, you can verify that AUFS is being used with the terminal command: `docker info`. If AUFS is being used, you should see `Storage Driver: aufs` in the output.
