fix: correct kernel version references from 6.17.8+ to 6.17.8-6.17.10 across all docs

Browse Source 
The broken kernel range is 6.17.8-6.17.10, not 6.17.8+ — kernel 6.17.11+
has the fix applied. Updated 11 files to use the precise range and added
6.17.11+/6.18.x as recommended alternatives. Also added a warning about
6.19.x PCIe issues reported in March 2026.
