[ Impact ]
sysdig fails to install if the user is using the hwe kernel which is v6.5 as the dkms module will fail to build during installation.
The error being:
/var/lib/dkms/sysdig/0.27.1/build/main.c: In function ‘sysdig_init’:
./include/linux/export.h:29:22: error: passing argument 1 of ‘class_create’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]

make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.5.0-15-generic'
[ Test Plan ]
This needs to be done on both the hwe kernel (v6.5) and the generic
kernel (v5.15) to ensure it works on both.
* install sysdig (which will also install sysdig-dkms as dependency)
* successfull installation will mean the build failure has been fixed.
We need to do a basic test to see sysdig is still working.
* Give the command "sudo sysdig proc.name=ls" on one terminal
* On another terminal give the command "ls"
* The first terminal should now show the debug information about "ls".
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This change is only affecting the users of hwe kernel (v6.5) and the
only change is in the way the class is created. The class will be
created when the module is loaded. So, if there is no error in loading
the module then the user should not see any regression in normal
operation.
[ Other Info ]
* The change in the upstream linux kernel has been done via: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230313181843.1207845-4-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org/
* Patch not forwarded upstream sysdig is now using "falcosecurity".
