Ubuntu added support for checking inode permissions to lookup_bdev() in kernel
commit 193fb6a2c94fab8eb8ce70a5da4d21c7d4023bee (merged in 4.4.0-6.21).
Upstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1636517
This patch adds a test for Ubuntu's variant of lookup_bdev() to configure and
calls the function in the correct way.

It's doubtful many people were impacted by this but commit 6c28567
accidentally broke ZFS builds for 2.6.26 and earlier kernels. This
commit depends on the lookup_bdev() function which exists in 2.6.26
but wasn't exported until 2.6.27.
The availability of the function isn't critical so a wrapper is
introduced which returns ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUP) when the function isn't
defined. This will have the effect of causing zvol_is_zvol() to
always fail for 2.6.26 kernels. This in turn means vdevs will
always get opened concurrently which is good for normal usage.
This will only become an issue if your using a zvol as a vdev in
another pool. In which case you really should be using a newer
kernel anyway.
