Linux 2.6.39 compat: Test if kstrtoul() exists
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
kstrtoul() exists only after torvalds/linux@33ee3b2e2eb9 in 2.6.39.
Use strict_strtoul() if kstrtoul() doesn't exist.
Note that strict_strtoul() has existed as an alias for kstrtoul()
for a while, but removed in torvalds/linux@3db2e9cdc085.

It looks like RHEL6 (2.6.32 based) has backported kstrtoul(),
and this caused build CI to pass compilation test.
It should fail on vanilla < 2.6.39 kernels or distro kernels without
backport as reported in openzfs#8760.
