Linux 3.5 compat, end_writeback() changed to clear_inode()

Browse Source 
The end_writeback() function was changed by moving the call to
inode_sync_wait() earlier in to evict().   This effecitvely changes
the ordering of the sync but it does not impact the details of
the zfs implementation.

However, as part of this change end_writeback() was renamed to
clear_inode() to reflect the new semantics.  This change does
impact us and clear_inode() now maps to end_writeback() for
kernels prior to 3.5.

dnl # The major impact here is the renaming of end_writeback() to
dnl # clear_inode(). However, care must be taken when detecting this
dnl # API change because as recently as 2.6.35 there was a clear_inode()
dnl # function. However, it was made obsolete by the evict_inode() API
dnl # change at the same time.

dnl # Therefore, to ensure we have the correct API we only allow the
dnl # clear_inode() compatibility code to be defined iff the evict_inode()
dnl # functionality is also detected.
