The 5.15 kernel moved the backing_dev_info structure out of
the request queue structure which causes a build failure.
Rather than look in the new location for the BDI we instead
detect this upstream refactoring by the existance of either
the blk_queue_update_readahead() or disk_update_readahead()
functions. In either case, there's no longer any reason to
manually set the ra_pages value since it will be overridden
with a reasonable default (2x the block size) when
blk_queue_io_opt() is called.
Therefore, we update the compatibility wrapper to do nothing
for 5.9 and newer kernels. While it's tempting to do the
same for older kernels we want to keep the compatibility
code to preserve the existing behavior. Removing it would
effectively increase the default readahead to 128k.

Update the ZFS_LINUX_TEST_PROGRAM macro to always set the module
license. As of the 5.11 kernel not setting a license has been
converted from a warning to an error.

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.
