Stop runtime pointer modifications in autotools checks
c38367c73f592ca9729ba0d5e70b5e3bc67e0745 was meant to eliminate runtime function pointer modifications in autotools checks because they were prone to false negatives on kernels hardened by the PaX project. Unfortunately, I missed the xattr_handler and super_block->s_bdi autotools checks. Recent changes to PaX constified xattr_handler->get/set, which lead me to discover this oversight. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1433
