Brian Behlendorf 2b7ab9d4d9 Linux 2.6.26 compat, lookup_bdev()
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.
