rtl8812au-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19

[Paolo Pisati]

[Impact]

rtl8812au-dkms fails to build with jammy/linux-hwe-5.19.

[Test case]

 $ sudo apt-get install rtl8812au-dkms

[Fix]

Sync the Kinetic version into Jammy (and apply the attached debdiff if you want to switch release to Jammy/~22.04.1 extension).

[Regression potential]

None, it's the same version we are already using in Kinetic/Lunar and it contains only FTBFS fixes to the base version (that is the same among Jammy, Kinetic and Lunar).
