[LU-6393] dkms build of client modules requires zfs/spl libraries

Description

The recent release of the 2.7.0 client includes support for dkms which is great however the dkms.conf should probably disable zfs/spl requirements among others. We have been using dkms with the Lustre client for a few years now and have used the following for the client modules only:

PRE_BUILD="configure
--prefix=/usr
--with-linux=${kernel_source_dir}
--with-linux-obj=${kernel_source_dir}
--without-ldiskfs
--without-zfs
--without-sysio
--without-lustre-iokit
--disable-snmp
--disable-doc
--disable-utils
--disable-tests
--disable-maintainer-mode
--disable-server

Perhaps someone may wish to review and alter the client side dkms packages.

Eric
