system/spl-solaris: Removed (fails to build, unused).
Newer versions of zfs-on-linux no longer need this and it no longer builds on 15.0. Signed-off-by: Andrew Clemons <andrew.clemons@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Willy Sudiarto Raharjo <willysr@slackbuilds.org>

-The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which
-provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes
-it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with
-relatively minimal modification.
-
-This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream
-Solaris development closely and do not want the overhead of
-maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
-primitives.
-
-You need this if you want to run ZFS on Linux.
-
-NOTE: You'll need the kernel source code to be able to compile this.
-This package is kernel dependent, so you'll need to recompile it for
-every new kernel you choose to run.
-
-If you're building this for a kernel that isn't currently running,
-you'll need to pass what that kernel's 'uname -r' output will be
-to the KERN variable when running the build script, e.g. KERN=4.14.9
