CIFS kernel module lost after upgrade to linux-image-6.2.0-1015-aws

A Systems manager patch was applied on an Ubuntu 22.04 instance. One of the patches upgraded the kernel from linux-image-6.2.0-1014-aws to linux-image-6.2.0-1015-aws and now we do not have the cifs kernel module available anymore. We are unable to mount a previously mounted CIFS filesystem.

How can we restore the CIFS module in order to mount the filesystem?

Some commands we ran to try and shed light:

> cat /etc/fstab 
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs	/	 ext4	defaults,discard	0 0
//172.31.111.111/Export /mnt/export cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,users,iocharset=utf8,ro 0 0

> mount /mnt/export/
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

> find /usr/lib/modules -type f | grep cifs
