Increase link count limit to 2^31-1

Description

Increase link count limit to 2^31-1

Originally, the per-file link limit was set to 65536 because the
exact Linux VFS limit was unclear. Internally ZFS is able to
support 64-bit link counts. After a more careful investigation
the limit can be safely raised to 2^31-1.
