vdev_disk: add module parameter to select BIO submission method 

This makes the submission method selectable at module load time via the
`zfs_vdev_disk_classic` parameter, allowing this change to be backported
to 2.2 safely, and disabled in favour of the "classic" submission method
if new problems come up.

If set to 1, OpenZFS will submit IO to Linux using the method it used in 2.2
and earlier.
This "classic" method has known issues with highly fragmented IO requests and
is slower on many workloads, but it has been in use for many years and is known
to be very stable.
If you set this parameter, please also open a bug report why you did so,
including the workload involved and any error messages.

This parameter and the classic submission method will be removed once we have
total confidence in the new method.

This parameter only applies on Linux, and can only be set at module load time.
