`KMC_KMEM` and `KMC_VMEM` are now unused since all SPL-implemented
caches are `KMC_KVMEM`.
KMC_KMEM: Given the default value of `spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit`, we
don't use kmalloc to back the SPL caches, instead we use kvmalloc
(KMC_KVMEM). The flag, module parameter, /proc entries, and associated
code are removed.
KMC_VMEM: This flag is not used, and kvmalloc() is always preferable to
vmalloc(). The flag, /proc entries, and associated code are removed.

Closes#10650
By default, `spl_kmem_cache_expire` is `KMC_EXPIRE_MEM`, meaning that
objects will be removed from kmem cache magazines by
`spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()`.
There is also a module parameter to change this to `KMC_EXPIRE_AGE`,
which establishes a maximum lifetime for objects to stay in the
magazine. This setting has rarely, if ever, been used, and is not
regularly tested.
This commit removes the code for `KMC_EXPIRE_AGE`, and associated module
parameters.
Additionally, the unused module parameter
`spl_kmem_cache_obj_per_slab_min` is removed.

Closes#10608
The SPL kmem_cache implementation provides a mechanism, `skc_reclaim`,
whereby individual caches can register a callback to be invoked when
there is memory pressure. This mechanism is used in only one place: the
ARC registers the `hdr_recl()` reclaim function. This function wakes up
the `arc_reap_zthr`, whose job is to call `kmem_cache_reap()` and
`arc_reduce_target_size()`.
The `skc_reclaim` callbacks are invoked only by shrinker callbacks and
`arc_reap_zthr`, and only callback only wakes up `arc_reap_zthr`. When
called from `arc_reap_zthr`, waking `arc_reap_zthr` is a no-op. When
called from shrinker callbacks, we are already aware of memory pressure
and responding to it. Therefore there is little benefit to ever calling
the `hdr_recl()` `skc_reclaim` callback.
The `arc_reap_zthr` also wakes once a second, and if memory is low when
allocating an ARC buffer. Therefore, additionally waking it from the
shrinker calbacks has little benefit.
The shrinker callbacks can be invoked very frequently, e.g. 10,000 times
per second. Additionally, for invocation of the shrinker callback,
skc_reclaim is invoked many times. Therefore, this mechanism consumes
significant amounts of CPU time.
The kmem_cache shrinker calls `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()`, which,
in addition to invoking `skc_reclaim()`, does two things to attempt to
free pages for use by the system:
1. Return free objects from the magazine layer to the slab layer
2. Return entirely-free slabs to the page layer (i.e. free pages)
These actions apply only to caches implemented by the SPL, not those
that use the underlying kernel SLAB/SLUB caches. The SPL caches are
used for objects >=32KB, which are primarily linear ABD's cached in the
DBUF cache.
These actions (freeing objects from the magazine layer and returning
entirely-free slabs) are also taken whenever a `kmem_cache_free()` call
finds a full magazine. So there would typically be zero entirely-free
slabs, and the number of objects in magazines is limited (typically no
more than 64 objects per magazine, and there's one magazine per CPU).
Therefore the benefit of `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()`, while nonzero, is
modest.
We also call `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` from the `arc_reap_zthr`, when
memory pressure is detected. Therefore, calling
`spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` from the kmem_cache shrinker is not needed.
This commit removes the `skc_reclaim` mechanism, its only callback
`hdr_recl()`, and the kmem_cache shrinker callback.

OS-specific code (e.g. under `module/os/linux`) does not need to share
its code structure with any other operating systems. In particular, the
ARC and kmem code need not be similar to the code in illumos, because we
won't be syncing this OS-specific code between operating systems. For
example, if/when illumos support is added to the common repo, we would
add a file `module/os/illumos/zfs/arc_os.c` for the illumos versions of
this code.
Therefore, we can simplify the code in the OS-specific ARC and kmem
routines.
These changes do not impact system behavior, they are purely code
cleanup. The changes are:
Arenas are not used on Linux or FreeBSD (they are always `NULL`), so
`heap_arena`, `zio_arena`, and `zio_alloc_arena` can be removed, along
with code that uses them.
In `arc_available_memory()`:
* `desfree` is unused, remove it
* rename `freemem` to avoid conflict with pre-existing `#define`
* remove checks related to arenas
* use units of bytes, rather than converting from bytes to pages and
then back to bytes
`SPL_KMEM_CACHE_REAP` is unused, remove it.
`skc_reap` is unused, remove it.
The `count` argument to `spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()` is unused, remove
it.
`vmem_size()` and associated type and macros are unused, remove them.
In `arc_memory_throttle()`, use a less confusing variable name to store
the result of `arc_free_memory()`.

A previous commit enabled the tracking of object allocations
in Linux-backed caches from the SPL layer for debuggability.
The commit is: 9a170fc6fe
Unfortunately, it also introduced minor performance regressions
that were highlighted by the ZFS perf test-suite. Within Delphix
we found that the regression would be from -1%, all the way up
to -8% for some workloads.
This commit brings performance back up to par by creating a
separate counter for those caches and making it a percpu in
order to avoid lock-contention.
The initial performance testing was done by myself, and the
final round was conducted by @tonynguien who was also the one
that discovered the regression and highlighted the culprit.

Giving a name to this enum makes it discoverable from
debugging tools like DRGN and SDB. For example, with
the name proposed on this patch we can iterate over
these values in DRGN:
```
>>> prog.type('enum kmc_bit').enumerators
(('KMC_BIT_NOTOUCH', 0), ('KMC_BIT_NODEBUG', 1),
('KMC_BIT_NOMAGAZINE', 2), ('KMC_BIT_NOHASH', 3),
('KMC_BIT_QCACHE', 4), ('KMC_BIT_KMEM', 5),
('KMC_BIT_VMEM', 6), ('KMC_BIT_SLAB', 7),
...
```
This enables SDB to easily pretty-print the flags of
the spl_kmem_caches in the system like this:
```
> spl_kmem_caches -o "name,flags,total_memory"
name flags total_memory
