This change adds a new kstat to gain some visibility into the
amount of time spent in each call to dmu_tx_assign. A histogram
is exported via the new dmu_tx_assign file. The information
contained in this histogram is the frequency dmu_tx_assign
took to complete given an interval range.

This change is an attempt to add visibility in to how txgs are being
formed on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to txg. These entries are then exported through the kstat
interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each txg, the following information is exported:
* Unique txg number (uint64_t)
* The time the txd was born (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The current txg state ((O)pen/(Q)uiescing/(S)yncing/(C)ommitted)
* The number of reserved bytes for the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes read during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of bytes written during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of read operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The number of write operations during the txg (uint64_t)
* The time the txg was closed (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was quiesced (hrtime_t)
* The time the txg was synced (hrtime_t)
Note that while the raw kstat now stores relative hrtimes for the
open, quiesce, and sync times. Those relative times are used to
calculate how long each state took and these deltas and printed by
output handlers.

This change is an attempt to add visibility into the arc_read calls
occurring on a system, in real time. To do this, a list was added to the
in memory SPA data structure for a pool, with each element on the list
corresponding to a call to arc_read. These entries are then exported
through the kstat interface, which can then be interpreted in userspace.
For each arc_read call, the following information is exported:
* A unique identifier (uint64_t)
* The time the entry was added to the list (hrtime_t)
(*not* wall clock time; relative to the other entries on the list)
* The objset ID (uint64_t)
* The object number (uint64_t)
* The indirection level (uint64_t)
* The block ID (uint64_t)
* The name of the function originating the arc_read call (char[24])
* The arc_flags from the arc_read call (uint32_t)
* The PID of the reading thread (pid_t)
* The command or name of thread originating read (char[16])
From this exported information one can see, in real time, exactly what
is being read, what function is generating the read, and whether or not
the read was found to be already cached.
There is still some work to be done, but this should serve as a good
starting point.
Specifically, dbuf_read's are not accounted for in the currently
exported information. Thus, a follow up patch should probably be added
to export these calls that never call into arc_read (they only hit the
dbuf hash table). In addition, it might be nice to create a utility
similar to "arcstat.py" to digest the exported information and display
it in a more readable format. Or perhaps, log the information and allow
for it to be "replayed" at a later time.
