Currently, sequential async write workloads spend a lot of time contending on the dn_struct_rwlock. This lock is responsible for protecting the entire block tree below it; this naturally results in some serialization during heavy write workloads. This can be resolved by having per-dbuf locking, which will allow multiple writers in the same object at the same time. We introduce a new rwlock, the db_rwlock. This lock is responsible for protecting the contents of the dbuf that it is a part of; when reading a block pointer from a dbuf, you hold the lock as a reader. When writing data to a dbuf, you hold it as a writer. This allows multiple threads to write to different parts of a file at the same time.
