Pull misc driver fix from Greg KH:
 "Here is a single patch for 5.15-rc1, for the lkdtm misc driver.

  It resolves a build issue that many people were hitting with your
  current tree, and Kees and others felt would be good to get merged
  before -rc1 comes out, to prevent them from having to constantly hit
  it as many development trees restart on -rc1, not older -rc releases.

  It has NOT been in linux-next, but has passed 0-day testing and looks
  'obviously correct' when reviewing it locally :)"
