zfs_2_1: 2.1.14 -> 2.1.15

This adds compatibility with newer kernels, which fixes
nixosTests.zfs.series_2_1, which broke when the default kernel version
was bumped.

This means we no longer need the removeLinuxDRM option at all, but
I've kept it around as a no-op so people can leave it set in case the
same thing happens again in future.

Linux 6.2 dropped some kernel symbols required on aarch64 required by zfs.
Enabling this option will bring them back to allow this kernel version.
Note that in some jurisdictions this may be illegal as it might be considered
removing copyright protection from the code.
See https://www.ifross.org/?q=en/artikel/ongoing-dispute-over-value-exportsymbolgpl-function for further information.
description = ''
Patch the kernel to change symbols needed by ZFS from
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT_SYMBOL.
If configure your kernel package with `zfs.latestCompatibleLinuxPackages`, you will need to also pass removeLinuxDRM to that package like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }: {
boot.kernelPackages = (pkgs.zfs.override {
removeLinuxDRM = pkgs.hostPlatform.isAarch64;
}).latestCompatibleLinuxPackages;
boot.zfs.removeLinuxDRM = true;
}
```
Currently has no effect, but may again in future if a kernel
update breaks ZFS due to symbols being newly changed to GPL.
