Patch removing explicit kld from CATEGORIES

This patch removes "kld" from CATEGORIES if USES is set to "kmod" because according to Porter's Handbook:

> (5.3.3. Choosing the Right Category)
> Ports installing loadable kernel modules also have the virtual category 
> kld in their CATEGORIES line. This is one of the things handled 
> automatically by adding USES=kmod.

Log:
  Remove redundant kld from CATEGORIES if a port uses kmod.

  "USES=kmod" already adds kld to CATEGORIES so it is unnecessary to set
  CATEGORIES to kld explicitly.
