--with-zfs does not belong here

Seems to be a configure 'bug' that could abort or warn about an invalid 
configuration. Note that clients do not care what the back-end the 
server is using and zfs is a server specific configuration option.

For reference this should work:
./configure --config-cache --disable-server --enable-client 
--with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-35-amd64 --disable-ldiskfs
