wmsum counters are a reduced version of aggsum counters, optimized for
write-mostly scenarios. They do not provide optimized read functions,
but instead allow much cheaper add function. The primary usage is
infrequently read statistic counters, not requiring exact precision.
The Linux implementation is directly mapped into percpu_counter KPI.
The FreeBSD implementation is directly mapped into counter(9) KPI.
In user-space due to lack of better implementation mapped to aggsum.
Unfortunately neither Linux percpu_counter nor FreeBSD counter(9)
provide sufficient functionality to completelly replace aggsum, so
it still remains to be used for several hot counters.

Kernel commit 2b0d3d3e4fcfb brought in some changes to the struct
percpu_ref structure that moves most of its fields into a member
struct named "data" of type struct percpu_ref_data. This includes
the "count" member which is updated by vdev_blkg_tryget(), so update
this function to chase the API change, and detect it via configure.

A previous commit enabled the tracking of object allocations
in Linux-backed caches from the SPL layer for debuggability.
The commit is: 9a170fc6fe54f1e852b6c39630fe5ef2bbd97c16
Unfortunately, it also introduced minor performance regressions
that were highlighted by the ZFS perf test-suite. Within Delphix
we found that the regression would be from -1%, all the way up
to -8% for some workloads.
This commit brings performance back up to par by creating a
separate counter for those caches and making it a percpu in
order to avoid lock-contention.
The initial performance testing was done by myself, and the
final round was conducted by @tonynguien who was also the one
that discovered the regression and highlighted the culprit.
