Hi,

With release of kernel 6.3.0-rc1, module vboxdrv.ko fails to build. The errors
are because a user can no longer write directly info the vm_flags member of
struct vm_area_struct. Instead, the vm_flags_set() wrapper function must be used
as show in the attached patch.

This patch is released under the MIT license.
