In ZFSOnLinux, our sources and build system are self contained such that
we do not need to make changes to the Linux kernel sources. Reiser4 on
the other hand exists solely as a kernel tree patch and opts to make
changes to the kernel rather than adapt to it. After Linux 4.1 made a
VFS change that replaced new_sync_read with do_sync_read, Reiser4's
maintainer decided to modify the kernel VFS to export the old function.
This caused our autotools check to misidentify the kernel API as
predating Linux 4.1 on kernels that have been patched with Reiser4
support, which breaks our build.
Reiser4 really should be patched to stop doing this, but lets modify our
check to be more strict to help the affected users of both filesystems.
Also, we were not checking the types of arguments and return value of
new_sync_read() and new_sync_write() . Lets fix that too.

Closes#6241Closes#7021
Commit 933ec99 removes read and write from f_op because the vfs layer will
select iter_write or aio_write automatically. However, for Linux <= 4.0,
loop_set_fd will actually check f_op->write and set read-only if not exists.
This patch add them back and use the generic do_sync_{read,write} for
aio_{read,write} and new_sync_{read,write} for {read,write}_iter.

Closes#5776Closes#5855
The .write/.read file operations callbacks can be retired since
support for .read_iter/.write_iter and .aio_read/.aio_write has
been added. The vfs_write()/vfs_read() entry functions will
select the correct interface for the kernel. This is desirable
because all VFS write/read operations now rely on common code.
This change also add the generic write checks to make sure that
ulimits are enforced correctly on write.

Closes#5587Closes#5673
Linux 3.15 commit torvalds/linux@293bc98 introduced two new methods.
The ->read_iter() and ->write_iter() methods were designed to replace
the ->aio_read() and ->aio_write() interfaces. Both interfaces were
preserved for several kernel releases in order to migrate all existing
consumers to the new interfaces. But as of Linux 4.1 the legacy
interface has been retired and the ZFS code must be updated to use
the new interfaces.
