Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 5.1.22-dfsg-3
Followup-For: Bug #868169

Same problem here. I made the mistake not to pin the package as suggested by
apt-listbugs and got stucked... But found a temporary solution until
maintainers rebuild the package.

The two following missing files should be in
/usr/src/virtualbox-5.1.22/include/VBox/vmm :

- hm_vmx.h
- pdmnetinline.h

But, lucky us, they are actually present in source tarball... So as a
workaround, download the source-files tarball at :

-
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/v/virtualbox/virtualbox_5.1.22-dfsg.orig.tar.xz

Un-tar it, and you'll find the missing files under
../virtualbox_5.1.22-dfsg.orig/VirtualBox-5.1.22/include/VBox/vmm/

Open a terminal as root, and copy the two missing files to the path
mentionned
above at first point.

Finally execute the following command :

# dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

And everything will work fine.
