zfs_2_1: 2.1.14 -> 2.1.15

This adds compatibility with newer kernels, which fixes nixosTests.zfs.series_2_1, which broke when the default kernel version was bumped. This means we no longer need the removeLinuxDRM option at all, but I've kept it around as a no-op so people can leave it set in case the same thing happens again in future. (cherry picked from commit 45f1428)
