OpenZFS 2.2.7 does not compile with kernel 6.14-rc1

Describe how to reproduce the problem

Issue appears when compiling kernel 6.14- there was no issue with kernel 6.13.

To try it at your own:

1. Grab pve-kernel repo https://github.com/KrzysztofHajdamowicz/pve-kernel
2. git submodule init && git submodule update
3. cd submodules/ubuntu-kernel && git remote add github https://github.com/KrzysztofHajdamowicz/mirror_ubuntu-kernels.git
4. cd submodules/ubuntu-kernel && git checkout github/build
5. Use https://github.com/KrzysztofHajdamowicz/pve-kernel-zfsonlinux as submodules/zfsonlinux (note upstream submodule that point to openzfs/zfs repo)
6. make
7. Result is: build.txt

6.14 (and even 6.13) is too new to be mentioned as supported in release notes but FIY some code changes will be needed in the future 🙂

@KrzysztofHajdamowicz #17026 posted to add support for 6.14. Once that kernel is released and support on master looks good, we'll likely backport it for a 2.2.x release. In the meantime, it's a very small amount of change, so if you're in the mood to test, you might like to apply those two patches yourself to 2.2.7 and give them a try.
