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.

generic_start_io_acct/generic_end_io_acct in the master
branch of the linux kernel requires that the request_queue
be provided.
Move the logic from freemem in the spl to arc_free_memory
in arc.c. Do this so we can take advantage of global_page_state
interface checks in zfs.
Upstream kernel replaced struct block_device with
struct gendisk in struct bio. Determine if the
function bio_set_dev exists during configure
and have zfs use that if it exists.

zfsonlinux/zfs@e20cd6f7a8 caused us to
lose IO accounting on zvols. When I originally wrote that last year, the
symbols we needed to maintain IO accounting were GPL exported, but
torvalds/linux@394ffa503b provided
suitable symbols for restoring this functionality 4 months later. We
can call them to restore the IO accounting on Linux 3.19 and later as
well as any older kernels where that patch is backported.
