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.
