Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.
By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.
Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process.
New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

[bio] The req_op enum was changed to req_opf. Update the "Linux 4.8 API"
autotools checks to use an int to determine whether the various REQ_OP
values are defined. This should work properly on kernels >= 4.8.
[bio] bio_set_op_attrs() is now an inline function and can't be detected
with #ifdef. Add a configure check to determine whether bio_set_op_attrs()
is defined. Move the local definition of it from vdev_disk.c to
blkdev_compat.h for consistency with other related compability shims.
[bio] The read/write flags and their modifiers, including WRITE_FLUSH,
WRITE_FUA and WRITE_FLUSH_FUA have been removed from fs.h. Add the new
bio_set_flush() compatibility wrapper to replace VDEV_WRITE_FLUSH_FUA
and set the flags appropriately for each supported kernel version.
[vfs] The generic_readlink() function has been made static. If .readlink
in inode_operations is NULL, generic_readlink() is used.
[zol typo] Completely unrelated to 4.10 compat, fix a typo in the check
for REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE so that the proper macro is defined:
