Our zfs backed Lustre MDT had soft lockups while under heavy metadata workloads while handling transaction callbacks from osd_zfs. The problem is zfs is not taking advantage of the fast path in Lustre's trans callback handling, where Lustre will skip the calls to ptlrpc_commit_replies() when it already saw a higher transaction number. This patch corrects this, it also has a positive impact on metadata performance on Lustre with osd_zfs, plus some cleanup in the headers. A similar issue for ext4/ldiskfs is described on: https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-6527 Reviewed-by: Olaf Faaland <faaland1@llnl.gov> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Li Dongyang <dongyang.li@anu.edu.au> Closes #6986
