Description

Please allow me to make a PR with `f2fs` support added

I created a [**f2fs-support**](https://github.com/okineadev/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tree/f2fs-support) branch, I think it's a good idea to add support for this file system, because users may encounter the problem of missing `f2fs`, causing it to manually compile the **kernel** (which they don't really want to bother with)

These users also want this support by default:
- https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/7973
- https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8467
- https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8231

Therefore, I ask you to accept my PR
