Previous code held ARC state sublist lock throughout all L2ARC
write process, which included number of allocations and even ZIO
issues. Being blocked in any of those places the code could also
block ARC eviction, that could cause OOM activation or even dead-
lock if system is low on memory or one is too fragmented.
Fix it by dropping the lock as soon as we see a block eligible
for L2ARC writing and pick it up later using earlier inserted
marker. While there, also reduce scope of hash lock, moving
ZIO allocation and other operations not requiring header access
out of it. All operations requiring header access move under
hash lock, since L2_WRITING flag does not prevent header eviction
only transition to arc_l2c_only state with L1 header.
To be able to manipulate sublist lock and marker as needed add few
more multilist functions and modify one.

This commit partially reverts changes to multilists in PR 7968
(multi-threaded spa-sync()) and adds some cache line alignments to
separate read-only multilists and heavily modified refcount's to different
cache lines.

DMU sync code calls taskq_dispatch() for each sublist of os_dirty_dnodes
and os_synced_dnodes. Since the number of sublists by default is equal
to number of CPUs, it will dispatch equal, potentially large, number of
tasks, waking up many CPUs to handle them, even if only one or few of
sublists actually have any work to do.
This change adds check for empty sublists to avoid this.

spa_sync() iterates over all the dirty dnodes and processes each of them
by calling dnode_sync(). If there are many dirty dnodes (e.g. because we
created or removed a lot of files), the single thread of spa_sync()
calling dnode_sync() can become a bottleneck. Additionally, if many
dnodes are dirtied concurrently in open context (e.g. due to concurrent
file creation), the os_lock will experience lock contention via
dnode_setdirty().
The solution is to track dirty dnodes on a multilist_t, and for
spa_sync() to use separate threads to process each of the sublists in
the multilist.

The global tunable zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state is used by the ARC and
the dbuf cache, and other users are planned. We should change this
tunable to be common to all multilists. This tuning may be overridden
on a per-multilist basis.

Porting notes and other significant code changes:
The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which
was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch.
Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to
actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every
time it runs.
The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts()
since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically.
Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or
whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch:
302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux
39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink
f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c"
77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation
94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta
Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been
added and produces the following output:
fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 }
fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 }
The following arcstats have been removed:
recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which
have been updated appropriately.
l2_writes_hdr_miss
The following arcstats have been added:
evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to
evict enough buffers to reach its target amount.
evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction
because it was being written to the l2arc.
l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times
l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries).
arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module
parameter (see below).
The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't
have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist-
related stats could be added in the future but would likely require
extensions to the mulilist API.
The following module parameters have been added:
zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list
before moving on to the next sub-list.
zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in
the ARC.
zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per
ARC state.
zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed
the target size to be considered "overflowing".
