[arch-general] Disable vboxadd.service & vboxadd-service.service after guest additions included in 4.15?

[Giacomo Longo]

You can also use ConditionKernelVersion like so

/etc/systemd/system/{vboxadd,vboxadd-service}.service.d/kerver.conf
-------------------------------------------------
[Unit]
ConditionKernelVersion=<4.15
