backport 5.3 zfs support to bionic for HWE kernel support

Apologies if this isn't the place to ask this question... This bug seems to be only about backporting compatibilty for the current 0.7 module but my system seems to have ended up with 0.8. This isn't a problem for me but I would prefer that the userspace aligns with the module so that new features (trim, encryption) can be used/configured.

@ubuntu stable folks - can this be uploaded sometime soon?

Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted zfs-linux into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/0.7.5-1ubuntu16.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted zfs-linux (0.7.5-1ubuntu16.8) for bionic have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

lxd/3.0.3-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 (arm64)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#zfs-linux

[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions

Thank you!

Tested these updates with the kernel team ZFS autotest regression tests on the following architectures:

arm64 - PASSED
amd64 - PASSED
s390x - PASSED
ppc64el - PASSED

I re-ran the failed lxd test as referenced in comment #5 and it passed, so I believe the original failure was an artifact of the test system and not with ZFS per se.
