Saw the same problem today.
Didn't bisect, just started reverting commits.

I found out that a revert of
commit eeac7405c735acde8ec78869489a5aa25a141c13
   drbd: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than sendpage()

fixed drbd for me on Linux 6.5.0.

You will need to return these as well, otherwise you will not be able to
build:

commit dc97391e661009eab46783030d2404c9b6e6f2e7
    sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

commit b848b26c6672c9b977890ba85f5a155e5eb221f0
    net: Kill MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST


Hope this helps.
