af_iucv kernel module fails to load on bootup / manual start via modprobe

[Leo M]

Hello,

* update to 5.10.197 included upstream changes from 6.x kernel.
* in particular this:
  * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230917191101.257176910@linuxfoundation.org/
  * this isn't an issue with the upstream state in the 6.x kernel as
the problems this change might cause are alleviated by this commit
that altered the way the iucv_if symbol was loaded:
     * https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/4eb9eda6ba64114d98827e2870e024d5ab7cd35b

In the current state the symbol is not loaded correctly and the
feature is not working properly.

This issue hasn't been resolved still and is in a broken state up to
the current 5.10.x version. Is it possible to include this fix in the
next 5.10.x version?

Sincerely,
Leonardo Martinho
