For unknown resons, fd117d03cefd15 ("mm/sparsemem: fix race in
accessing memory_section->usage") prevents us from compiling the
proprietary Nvidia Unix driver with versions 510.108.03 and 535.104.05
in the 5.15 series. No problems with the 6.5 series, although the patch
is included there as well.

Just disable the check which prevents non-GPL modules to access GPL-only
symbols.
