dasdinfo: Drop obsolete kernel check and use errx() for arg errors

Remove the uname()/sscanf()-based kernel version gate (Linux < 2.6),
which is long obsolete and does not belong in user-space argument
validation.

While touching the code, replace the repeated warnx() + exit(1) pattern
with errx(EXIT_FAILURE, ...) in the option sanity checks to reduce
boilerplate and keep error paths consistent.

Behaviour is unchanged for supported environments; the version gate is
dropped because it is obsolete.
