Andriy Gapon eb819923ec zfs: enable SPA_PROCESS on the kernel side
The purpose of this change is to group kernelthreads specific to a
particular ZFS pool under a kernel process.  There can be many dozens of
threads per pool.  This change improves observability of those threads.

This change consists of several subchanges:
1. illumos taskq_create_proc can now pass its process parameter to
taskqueue.  Also, use zfsproc instead of NULL for taskq_create.  Caveat:
zfsproc might not be initialized yet.  But in that case it is still NULL,
so not worse than before.

2. illumos sys/proc.h: kthread id is stored in t_did field, not t_tid.

3. zfs: enable SPA_PROCESS on the kernel side.  The change is a bit hairy
as newproc() is implemented privately to spa.c.  I couldn't think of a
better way to populate process name than to poke inside the argument for
the process routine.

4. illumos thread_create: allow assigning thread to process other than
zfsproc.

5. zfs: expose spa_proc to other users, assign sync and quiesce threads
to it.

Pool-specific threads created using (relatively new) zthr mechanism are
still assigned to the zfskern process rather than to a respective
zpool-xxx process.  I am going to address this a bit later.
