Tony Nguyen 64b6c47d90 dbuf_hold_impl() cleanup to improve cached read performance

Currently every dbuf_hold_impl() incurs kmem_alloc() and kmem_free()
which can be costly for cached read performance.

This change reverts the dbuf_hold_impl() fix stack commit, i.e.
fc5bb51f08a6c91ff9ad3559d0266eeeab0b1f61 to eliminate the extra
kmem_alloc() and kmem_free() operations and improve cached read
performance. With the change, each dbuf_hold_impl() frame uses 40 bytes
more, total of 800 for 20 recursive levels. Linux kernel stack sizes are
8K and 16K for 32bit and 64bit, respectively, so stack overrun risk is
limited.

Sample stack output comparisons with 50 PB file and recordsize=512

Performance observations on 8K recordsize filesystem:
- 8/128/1024K at 1-128 sequential cached read, ~3% improvement

Testing done on Ubuntu 18.04 with 4.15 kernel, 8vCPUs and SSD storage on
VMware ESX.
