The related xtables-addons bug is:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1014680
[ Reason ]
xtables-addons-dkms and xtables-addons-source contain sources for building
kernel modules with DKMS and module-assistant, respectively. The 5.10.0-16
kernel introduced in the 11.4 point release included a patch back-ported from
5.11 to 5.10.121:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/include/net/route.h?h=linux-5.10.y&id=6950ee32c1879818de03f13a9a5de1be41ad2782
This changes the parameters of the `security_skb_classify_flow` function, which
is called by one of the xtables-addons kernel modules, xt_ECHO.c. The calling
code has been updated to pass the correct argument in a later upstream release.
However, the version in Bullseye now fails to build:
/var/lib/dkms/xtables-addons/3.13/build/extensions/xt_ECHO.c: In function 'echo_tg6':
/var/lib/dkms/xtables-addons/3.13/build/extensions/xt_ECHO.c:100:55: error: passing argument 2 of 'security_skb_classify_flow' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]

[ Impact ]
Building the modules fails. This also means that installing the -dkms package
may fail:
Loading new xtables-addons-3.13 DKMS files...
It is likely that 5.19.0-rc3-nf-next-ulthar-20220707+ belongs to a chroot's host
Building for 5.10.0-16-amd64
Building initial module for 5.10.0-16-amd64
Error! Build of xt_ACCOUNT.ko failed for: 5.10.0-16-amd64 (x86_64)
Make sure the name of the generated module is correct and at the root of the
build directory, or consult make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/xtables-addons/3.13/build/ for more information.
dpkg: error processing package xtables-addons-dkms (--configure):

[ Tests ]
I've used piuparts and manual installation into a Bullseye chroot to verify that
the build fails with the version currently in Bullseye, but succeeds with the
proposed update.
[ Risks ]
The changes are minimal and reuse the upstream fix.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Upstream introduced a C preprocessor conditional to check the kernel version and
ensure that the function is called with the correct arguments. I have added a
patch to the package to make the same change to the packaged source.
