vboxsf missing in focal

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

virtualbox got SRUed into focal that drops virtualbox-guest-dkms

virtualbox-guest-dkms (among other modules) used to provide vboxsf which src:linux used as source to build & sign vboxsf.

vboxsf is also available in upstream vanilla kernels from v5.5~rc6+

to continue building vboxsf in the src:linux on focal virtualbox-guest-dkms must be continued to be provided.

please re-introduce back virtualbox-guest-dkms, on focal only.
