Linux 3.3 compat, iops->create()/mkdir()/mknod()
The mode argument of iops->create()/mkdir()/mknod() was changed from an 'int' to a 'umode_t'. To prevent a compiler warning an autoconf check was added to detect the API change and then correctly set a zpl_umode_t typedef. There is no functional change. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #701
