Fix bug in SPLAT taskq:front

While running SPLAT on a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
enabled the taskq:front was flagged as a test which might sleep
which in an unsafe context.  Specifically, the splat_vprint()
function which internally takes a mutex was being called under
a spin lock.  Moving the log function outside the spin lock
cleanly solves this issue.

Update code to use misc_register()/misc_deregister()

When the SPL was originally written it was designed to use the
device_create() and device_destroy() functions.  Unfortunately,
these functions changed considerably over the years making them
difficult to rely on.

As it turns out a better choice would have been to use the
misc_register()/misc_deregister() functions.  This interface
for registering character devices has remained stable, is simple,
and provides everything we need.

Therefore the code has been reworked to use this interface.  The
higher level ZFS code has always depended on these same interfaces
so this is also as a step towards minimizing our kernel dependencies.

Remove adaptive mutex implementation

Since the Linux 2.6.29 kernel all mutexes have been adaptive mutexs.
There is no longer any point in keeping this code so it is being
removed to simplify the code.

Remove sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure assumption

The generic SPL cache shrinkers make the assumption that the
caches only contain VFS cache data and therefore should be scaled
based on vfs_cache_pressure.  This is not strictly true and it
should not be assumed.

Removing this tuning should not have any impact on the stock
behavior because vfs_cache_pressure=100 by default.  This means
that no scaling will take place.
Remove utsname() wrapper

There is no longer a need to wrap this because utsname() is provided
by the kernel and can be called directly.  This will require a small
change in the ZFS code because utsname is expected to be a global
structure and not a function.

Remove CTL_UNNUMBERED sysctl interface

Support for the CTL_UNNUMBERED sysctl interface was removed in
Linux 2.6.19.  There is no longer any reason to maintain this
compatibility code.  There also issue any reason to keep around
the CTL_NAME macro and helpers so they have been retired.

Map highbit64() to fls64()

The fls64() function has been available since Linux 2.6.16 and
it should be used to implemented highbit64().  This allows us
to provide an optimized implementation and simplify the code.

Simplify the time compatibility wrappers

Many of the time functions had grown overly complex in order to
handle kernel compatibility issues.  However, as of Linux 2.6.26
all the required functionality is available.  This allows us to
retire numerous configure checks and greatly simplify the time
compatibility wrappers.

Remove i_mutex() configure check

The inode structure has used i_mutex as its internal locking
primitive since 2.6.16.  The compatibility code to check for
the previous semaphore primitive has been removed.  However,
the wrapper function itself is being kept because it's entirely
possible this primitive will chain again to allow finer grained
locking.

Remove get_vmalloc_info() wrapper

The get_vmalloc_info() function was used to back the vmem_size()
function.  This was always problematic and resulted in brittle
code because the kernel never provided a clean interface for
modules.

However, it turns out that the only caller of this function in
ZFS uses it to determine the total virtual address space size.
This can be determined easily without get_vmalloc_info() so
vmem_size() has been updated to take this approach which allows
us to shed the get_vmalloc_info() dependency.
