The CentOS stream 4.18.0-257 kernel appears to have backported
the Linux 5.9 change to make_request_fn and the associated API.
To maintain weak modules compatibility the original symbol was
retained and the new interface blk_alloc_queue_rh() was added.
Unfortunately, blk_alloc_queue() was replaced in the blkdev.h
header by blk_alloc_queue_bh() so there doesn't seem to be a way
to build new kmods against the old interfces. Even though they
appear to still be available for weak module binding.
To accommodate this a configure check is added for the new _rh()
variant of the function and used if available. If compatibility
code gets added to the kernel for the original blk_alloc_queue()
interface this should be fine. OpenZFS will simply continue to
prefer the new interface and only fallback to blk_alloc_queue()
when blk_alloc_queue_rh() isn't available.

The make_request_fn and associated API was replaced recently in a
Linux 5.9 merge, to replace its functionality with a new submit_bio
member in struct block_device_operations.

Commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3d745ea5 simplified
the blk_alloc_queue() interface by updating it to take the request
queue as an argument. Add a wrapper function which accepts the new
arguments and internally uses the available interfaces.
Other minor changes include increasing the Linux-Maximum to 5.6 now
that 5.6 has been released. It was not bumped to 5.7 because this
release has not yet been finalized and is still subject to change.
Added local 'struct zvol_state_os *zso' variable to zvol_alloc.

Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.

Closes#9566
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.
