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.

When handling a 32-bit statfs() system call the returned fields,
although 64-bit in the kernel, must be limited to 32-bits or an
EOVERFLOW error will be returned.
This is less of an issue for block counts since the default
reported block size in 128KiB. But since it is possible to
set a smaller block size, these values will be scaled as
needed to fit in a 32-bit unsigned long.
Unlike most other filesystems the total possible file counts
are more likely to overflow because they are calculated based
on the available free space in the pool. In order to prevent
this the reported value must be capped at 2^32-1. This is
only for statfs(2) reporting, there are no changes to the
internal ZFS limits.
