Dropped the offending patch from the 5.15 and 5.10 queues. Thanks!

The 5.15 backport of 3a0724998162 ("KVM: Move kvm_io_bus_get_dev()
locking responsibilities to callers") placed guard(srcu) after a
statement, which 5.15.y still rejects with
-Wdeclaration-after-statement.

Fixed by replacing the 5.15 backport with the 5.10 backport of the
same upstream commit, which uses explicit
srcu_read_lock()/srcu_read_unlock() instead of guard() - the affected
functions are identical between the two trees. The next -rc should
build cleanly.

Thanks for the report.
