Currently, if API tests fail, we either ignore the failures, or
unconditionally halt the kernel build. This leads to situations where
incompatibilities with existing APIs may develop, but not trip the
configure compatibility checks.
This introduces a new mechanism to require APIs for kernels above a
particular version. While not perfect, this at least guarantees
mainline kernels do not break existing APIs without at least providing
some warning.

Linux 863f144 modified the .tmpfile interface to pass a struct file,
rather than a struct dentry, and expect the tmpfile implementation to
open inside of tmpfile().
This patch implements a configuration test that checks for this new API
and appropriately sets a HAVE_TMPFILE_DENTRY flag that tracks this old
API. Contingent on this flag, the appropriate API is implemented.

Linux changed the tmpfile() signature again in torvalds/linux@6521f89,
which in turn broke our HAVE_TMPFILE detection in configure.
Update that macro to include the new case, and change the signature of
zpl_tmpfile as appropriate.

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.

Linux 3.11 add O_TMPFILE to open(2), which allow creating an unlinked file on
supported filesystem. It's basically doing open(2) and unlink(2) atomically.
The filesystem support is added through i_op->tmpfile. We basically copy the
create operation except we get rid of the link and name related stuff and add
the new node to unlinked set.
We also add support for linkat(2) to link tmpfile. However, since all previous
file operation will skip ZIL, we force a txg_wait_synced to make sure we are
sync safe.
