Add SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE to lseek()/llseek()

The approach taken was the rework zfs_holey() as little as
possible and then just wrap the code as needed to ensure
correct locking and error handling.

Tested with xfstests 285 and 286.  All tests pass except for
7-9 of 285 which try to reserve blocks first via fallocate(2)
and fail because fallocate(2) is not yet supported.

Note that the filp->f_lock spinlock did not exist prior to
Linux 2.6.30, but we avoid the need for autotools check by
virtue of the fact that SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support was not
added until Linux 3.1.

An autoconf check was added for lseek_execute() which is
currently a private function but the expectation is that it
will be exported perhaps as early as Linux 3.11.
