Following patch causing build break on stable-rc 5.15

We observed same build error.(5.15.108-rc1), and investigated about this.
Please see the below findings.
With defconfig --> build breaks. With allmodconfig --> build succeeds.
From the above we know that this is something related to CONFIG.
In 5.15.y --> cgroup_mutex is defined like this in include/linux/cgroup.h
#ifdef CONFIG_PROVE_RCU extern struct mutex cgroup_mutex;
In 6.2.y --> include/linux/cgroup.h
extern struct mutex cgroup_mutex;
-- We don't have that ifdef in 6.2.y.
Tom Saeger identified that the below commit moves it out of ifdef.
commit 354ed597442952fb680c9cafc7e4eb8a76f9514c Author: Yu Zhao yuzhao@google.com Date: Sun Sep 18 02:00:07 2022 -0600
mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch
Given that we don't have this commit in 5.15.y and 5.10.y we are seeing this build problem.
on allmodconfig:
~/linux$ grep "CONFIG_PROVE_RCU" .config CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y
on defconfig: ~/linux$ grep "CONFIG_PROVE_RCU" .config -- No match
This explains the failure on defconfig and a build success on allmodconfig.
Thanks, Harshit
