Workstation 16.2.5 modules fail build for kernel 6.10.3 #271

Building the vmnet-only modules against kernel 6.10.x for Workstation 16.2.5 fails related to the dev_base_lock function being undeclared.

It seems like this is being worked on for Workstation 17.x but would it be possible to get the fix for Workstation 16.x as well?

I tried the patch listed here: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/239#issuecomment-2118783046

After making the changes to vmnetInt.h I was able to compile the vmnet module successfully.

@Petaris , compile OK, but does it work correctly at usage?

It appears to. I was able to run my Win10 VM without any issues. That really isn't an exhaustive test though.
