Bug#1005405: Fails to build for Linux 5.16 onward

Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-418
Version: 418.226.00-1
Severity: grave

These modules fail to build, with the compiler reporting that
<stdarg.h> is not found.

This is due to an intentional change in Linux 5.16 removing user-space
headers from the kernel include path:
<https://git.kernel.org/linus/04e85bbf71c9072dcf0ad9a7150495d72461105c>.

Kernel code must use <linux/stdarg.h> instead of <stdarg.h>.

Ben.
