Bug Description
== SRU Justification (Bionic) ==
Building Bionic SPL with 5.4 kernels breaks because 5.4 removed the user_path_dir inlined helper.
== Fix ==
Replace the deprecated inline helper user_path_dir() (not in Linux 5.4) with the more stable generic variant user_path_
== Testcase ==
Build with a 5.4+ kernel. Without the fix dkms will fail to build. With the fix it will build successfully. Once built, test with the ubuntu autotest ZFS tests, it will pass. Also test on mainline 4.15 and 5.3, 5.4 kernels that don't have ZFS built-in (from https:/
== Regression Potential ==
Very small. We are effectively replacing the call to an inlined helper function user_path_dir with the same underlying more generic call in the kernel, so basically this is a one-to-one mapping of the original inline helper to the more generic version. The resulting generated object code is effectively the same.
