Upstream kernel commit f7af6977621a ("x86/paravirt: Remove no longer
needed paravirt patching code") v6.8+ removed the .parainstructions
section and its paravirt_patch_site struct. Therefore this checks the
kernel version and does not export the struct size if the kernel
version is >= v6.8.0, avoiding the code path for it in
create-diff-object.c entirely.
Fixes: dynup#1380

Upstream kernel commit torvalds/linux@f7af697 removes
struct paravirt_patch_siteas it's no longer used to implement the feature.Kpatch-build and friends will need to handle accordingly for upstream v6.8+ and future downstream backports.
