Alexander Motin 6bb46107d8 MFV r336930: 9284 arc_reclaim_thread has 2 jobs
`arc_reclaim_thread()` calls `arc_adjust()` after calling
`arc_kmem_reap_now()`; `arc_adjust()` signals `arc_get_data_buf()` to
indicate that we may no longer be `arc_is_overflowing()`.

The problem is, `arc_kmem_reap_now()` can take several seconds to
complete, has no impact on `arc_is_overflowing()`, but due to how the
code is structured, can impact how long the ARC will remain in the
`arc_is_overflowing()` state.

The fix is to use seperate threads to:

1. keep `arc_size` under `arc_c`, by calling `arc_adjust()`, which
    improves `arc_is_overflowing()`

2. keep enough free memory in the system, by calling
 `arc_kmem_reap_now()` plus `arc_shrink()`, which improves
 `arc_available_memory()`.
