dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-dkms-390 fails for kernel 5.3.0.-26 [error: redefinition of ‘list_is_first’]

[km]

After the update from 5.0 to 5.3 the dkms reconfigure of the nvidia-390 kernel module fails.
The problem seems to be in a conflict between the "list_is_first" routine in the module and the new kernel, which causes a compile error. I will upload /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.116/build/make.log

The reference in the log to autoconf.h missing is spurious. The generated/autoconf.h exists.

Here is the reconfigure output

# dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-dkms-390
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.
