Identify locks flagged by lockdep
When running a kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y, lockdep reports possible
recursive locking in some cases and possible circular locking dependency
in others, within the SPL and ZFS modules.
This patch uses a mutex type defined in SPL, MUTEX_NOLOCKDEP, to mark
such mutexes when they are initialized. This mutex type causes
attempts to take or release those locks to be wrapped in lockdep_off()
and lockdep_on() calls to silence the dependency checker and allow the
use of lock_stats to examine contention.
For RW locks, it uses an analogous lock type, RW_NOLOCKDEP.
The goal is that these locks are ultimately changed back to type
MUTEX_DEFAULT or RW_DEFAULT, after the locks are annotated to reflect
their relationship (e.g. z_name_lock below) or any real problem with the
lock dependencies are fixed.
Some of the affected locks are:
tc_open_lock:
=============
This is an array of locks, all with same name, which txg_quiesce must
take all of in order to move txg to next state. All default to the same
lockdep class, and so to lockdep appears recursive.
zp->z_name_lock:
================
In zfs_rmdir,
dzp = znode for the directory (input to zfs_dirent_lock)
zp = znode for the entry being removed (output of zfs_dirent_lock)
zfs_rmdir()->zfs_dirent_lock() takes z_name_lock in dzp
zfs_rmdir() takes z_name_lock in zp
Since both dzp and zp are type znode_t, the locks have the same default
class, and lockdep considers it a possible recursive lock attempt.
l->l_rwlock:
============
zap_expand_leaf() sometimes creates two new zap leaf structures, via
these call paths:
zap_deref_leaf()->zap_get_leaf_byblk()->zap_leaf_open()
zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()->zap_expand_leaf()->zap_create_leaf()
Because both zap_leaf_open() and zap_create_leaf() initialize
l->l_rwlock in their (separate) leaf structures, the lockdep class is
the same, and the linux kernel believes these might both be the same
lock, and emits a possible recursive lock warning.

Illumos 5497 - lock contention on arcs_mtx

Porting notes and other significant code changes:
The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which
was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch.
Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to
actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every
time it runs.
The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts()
since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically.
Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or
whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch:
