Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
is available (i.e. zsmalloc or zbud). This allows checking if a pool is
available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
crypto_has_alg().
This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic
runtime creation of zswap zpools.
