Evaluated every variable that lives in .data (and globals in .rodata)
in the kernel modules, and constified/eliminated/localised them
appropriately. This means that all read-only data is now actually
read-only data, and, if possible, at file scope. A lot of previously-
global-symbols became inlinable (and inlined!) constants. Probably
not in a big Wowee Performance Moment, but hey.

This fixes /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid on kernels with mainline commit
32927393dc1ccd60fb2bdc05b9e8e88753761469 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers
to ->proc_handler") ‒ 5.7-rc1 and up
The access_ok() check in copy_to_user() in proc_copyout_string() would
always fail, so all userspace reads and writes would fail with EINVAL
proc_dostring() strips only the final new-line,
but simple_strtoul() doesn't actually need a back-trimmed string ‒
writing "012345678 \n" is still allowed, as is "012345678zupsko", &c.
This alters what happens when an invalid value is written ‒
previously it'd get set to what-ever simple_strtoul() returned
(probably 0, thereby resetting it to default), now it does nothing

This change updates the documentation to refer to the project
as OpenZFS instead ZFS on Linux. Web links have been updated
to refer to https://github.com/openzfs/zfs. The extraneous
zfsonlinux.org web links in the ZED and SPL sources have been
dropped.

`KMC_KMEM` and `KMC_VMEM` are now unused since all SPL-implemented
caches are `KMC_KVMEM`.
KMC_KMEM: Given the default value of `spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit`, we
don't use kmalloc to back the SPL caches, instead we use kvmalloc
(KMC_KVMEM). The flag, module parameter, /proc entries, and associated
code are removed.
KMC_VMEM: This flag is not used, and kvmalloc() is always preferable to
vmalloc(). The flag, /proc entries, and associated code are removed.

A previous commit enabled the tracking of object allocations
in Linux-backed caches from the SPL layer for debuggability.
The commit is: 9a170fc6fe54f1e852b6c39630fe5ef2bbd97c16
Unfortunately, it also introduced minor performance regressions
that were highlighted by the ZFS perf test-suite. Within Delphix
we found that the regression would be from -1%, all the way up
to -8% for some workloads.
This commit brings performance back up to par by creating a
separate counter for those caches and making it a percpu in
order to avoid lock-contention.
The initial performance testing was done by myself, and the
final round was conducted by @tonynguien who was also the one
that discovered the regression and highlighted the culprit.

The proc_ops structure was introduced to replace the use of of the
file_operations structure when registering proc handlers. This
change creates a new kstat_proc_op_t typedef for compatibility
which can be used to pass around the correct structure.
This change additionally adds the 'const' keyword to all of the
existing proc operations structures.

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
Currently, for certain sizes and classes of allocations we use
SPL caches that are backed by caches in the Linux Slab allocator
to reduce fragmentation and increase utilization of memory. The
way things are implemented for these caches as of now though is
that we don't keep any statistics of the allocations that we
make from these caches.
This patch enables the tracking of allocated objects in those
SPL caches by making the trade-off of grabbing the cache lock
at every object allocation and free to update the respective
counter.
Additionally, this patch makes those caches visible in the
/proc/spl/kmem/slab special file.
As a side note, enabling the specific counter for those caches
enables SDB to create a more user-friendly interface than
/proc/spl/kmem/slab that can also cross-reference data from
slabinfo. Here is for example the output of one of those
caches in SDB that outputs the name of the underlying Linux
cache, the memory of SPL objects allocated in that cache,
and the percentage of those objects compared to all the
objects in it:
```
> spl_kmem_caches | filter obj.skc_name == "zio_buf_512" | pp
name ... source total_memory util
----------- ... ----------------- ------------ ----
zio_buf_512 ... kmalloc-512[SLUB] 16.9MB 8
