By now this package has been promoted to [core] so it is in fact the default ArchLinux kernel.
As a workaround you can use the "linux-lts" package that now also carries the fix for your original problem but not the code responsible for the new issue.
pacman -Sy linux-lts

This is indeed the correct way to enable the feature again.
It seems that the commit that introduced this sysctl[0] depends on another commit [1] to be applied. But the 6.2.2 stable kernel is missing the requirement.
I'll validate that this indeed is the issue and will then send a formal request for backporting.
