build failure due to upstream linux change #972

Description

Hi,

We just bumped our linux kernel from 6.6.75 to 6.6.76 and netmap started failing to build.

Looks like this is due to the upstream change https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-6.6.y&id=7705d8a7f2c26c80973c81093db07c6022b2b30e which changed net_device::ax25_ptr from a void * to struct ax25_dev __rcu *
