Segmentation fault
```

### Steps to reproduce

1. xbps-install zfs
2. modprobe zfs

Additional info
```
$ uname -a
Linux void-live 6.1.4_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Jan 11 00:28:48 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

$ file /lib/modules/6.1.4_1/extra/zfs/zfs/zfs.ko
/lib/modules/6.1.4_1/extra/zfs/zfs/zfs.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=6831b16ecce2e5dd58eed90adf7d790e6e5c5765, not stripped
```

It was no problem when I was using `linux-lts-5.10`.

Comment:
I might start looking into this, no promise though. I might just use 5.10 with zfs anyway. I was having issues with building zfs-dkms on aarch64 in the first place, until I found some tools on github that were required to build it, but it was getting segfault on modprobe on my system with 5.15, 5.16, 5.18, 5.19 and 6.0.

I don't think I tried 5.10, it's worth a short if I can get the odroid hc4 to work. If not, I might just use the armbian kernel, build it on that, and then booting void using armbian's kernel (I did this before to get void bootstrapped, but I never got zfs-dkms on armbian to work either, also because of the missing aarch64-tools script).

I might be able to strace what the module is doing when `modprobe`'d, but I'm not sure if I can actually fix it, I'm only a shell script kiddie.
