Rewrite the ZFS prefetch code to detect only forward, sequential
streams.
The following kstats have been added:
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.sync_wait_for_async
How many sync reads have waited for async read
to complete. (less is better)
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.demand_hit_predictive_prefetch
How many demand read didn't have to wait for I/O
because of predictive prefetch. (more is better)
zfetch kstats have been similified to hits, misses, and max_streams,
with max_streams representing times when we were not able to create
new stream because we already have the maximum number of sequences
for a file.
The sysctl variable/loader tunable vfs.zfs.zfetch.block_cap have been
replaced by vfs.zfs.zfetch.max_distance, which controls maximum bytes
to prefetch per stream.
