With the other metaslab changes loaded onto a system, we can significantly reduce the memory usage of each loaded metaslab and unload them on demand if there is memory pressure. However, none of those changes actually result in us keeping more metaslabs loaded. If we don't keep more metaslabs loaded, we will still have to wait for demand-loading to finish when no loaded metaslab can satisfy our allocation, which can cause ZIL performance issues. In addition, performance is traditionally measured by IOs per unit time, while unloading is currently done on a txg-count basis. Txgs can take a widely varying range of times, from tenths of a second to several seconds. This can result in confusing, hard to predict behavior. This change simply adds a time-based component to metaslab unloading. A metaslab will remain loaded for one minute and 8 txgs (by default) after it was last used, unless it is evicted due to memory pressure.
