Prakash Surya 900d09b285 OpenZFS 9962 - zil_commit should omit cache thrash
As a result of the changes made in 8585, it's possible for an excessive
amount of vdev flush commands to be issued under some workloads.

Specifically, when the workload consists of mostly async write activity,
interspersed with some sync write and/or fsync activity, we can end up
issuing more flush commands to the underlying storage than is actually
necessary. As a result of these flush commands, the write latency and
overall throughput of the pool can be poorly impacted (latency
increases, throughput decreases).

Currently, any time an lwb completes, the vdev(s) written to as a result
of that lwb will be issued a flush command. The intenion is so the data
written to that vdev is on stable storage, prior to communicating to any
waiting threads that their data is safe on disk.

The problem with this scheme, is that sometimes an lwb will not have any
threads waiting for it to complete. This can occur when there's async
activity that gets "converted" to sync requests, as a result of calling
the zil_async_to_sync() function via zil_commit_impl(). When this
occurs, the current code may issue many lwbs that don't have waiters
associated with them, resulting in many flush commands, potentially to
the same vdev(s).

For example, given a pool with a single vdev, and a single fsync() call
that results in 10 lwbs being written out (e.g. due to other async
writes), that will result in 10 flush commands to that single vdev (a
flush issued after each lwb write completes). Ideally, we'd only issue a
single flush command to that vdev, after all 10 lwb writes completed.

Further, and most important as it pertains to this change, since the
flush commands are often very impactful to the performance of the pool's
underlying storage, unnecessarily issuing these flush commands can
poorly impact the performance of the lwb writes themselves. Thus, we
need to avoid issuing flush commands when possible, in order to acheive
the best possible performance out of the pool's underlying storage.

This change attempts to address this problem by changing the ZIL's logic
to only issue a vdev flush command when it detects an lwb that has a
thread waiting for it to complete. When an lwb does not have threads
waiting for it, the responsibility of issuing the flush command to the
vdevs involved with that lwb's write is passed on to the "next" lwb.
It's only once a write for an lwb with waiters completes, do we issue
the vdev flush command(s). As a result, now when we issue the flush(s),
we will issue them to the vdevs involved with that specific lwb's write,
but potentially also to vdevs involved with "previous" lwb writes (i.e.
if the previous lwbs did not have waiters associated with them).

Thus, in our prior example with 10 lwbs, it's only once the last lwb
completes (which will be the lwb containing the waiter for the thread
that called fsync) will we issue the vdev flush command; all of the
other lwbs will find they have no waiters, so they'll pass the
responsibility of the flush to the "next" lwb (until reaching the last
lwb that has the waiter).

Porting Notes:
* Reconciled conflicts with the fastwrite feature.

/*
* Possible states for a given lwb structure.
*
* An lwb will start out in the "closed" state, and then transition to
* the "opened" state via a call to zil_lwb_write_open(). When
* transitioning from "closed" to "opened" the zilog's "zl_issuer_lock"
* must be held.
*
* After the lwb is "opened", it can transition into the "issued" state
* via zil_lwb_write_issue(). Again, the zilog's "zl_issuer_lock" must
* be held when making this transition.
*
* After the lwb's write zio completes, it transitions into the "write
* done" state via zil_lwb_write_done(); and then into the "flush done"
* state via zil_lwb_flush_vdevs_done(). When transitioning from
* "issued" to "write done", and then from "write done" to "flush done",
* the zilog's "zl_lock" must be held, *not* the "zl_issuer_lock".
*
* The zilog's "zl_issuer_lock" can become heavily contended in certain
* workloads, so we specifically avoid acquiring that lock when
* transitioning an lwb from "issued" to "done". This allows us to avoid
* having to acquire the "zl_issuer_lock" for each lwb ZIO completion,
* which would have added more lock contention on an already heavily
* contended lock.
*
* Additionally, correctness when reading an lwb's state is often
* achieved by exploiting the fact that these state transitions occur in
* this specific order; i.e. "closed" to "opened" to "issued" to "done".
*
* Thus, if an lwb is in the "closed" or "opened" state, holding the
* "zl_issuer_lock" will prevent a concurrent thread from transitioning
* that lwb to the "issued" state. Likewise, if an lwb is already in the
* "issued" state, holding the "zl_lock" will prevent a concurrent
* thread from transitioning that lwb to the "write done" state.
