The original ARC paper called for an initial 50/50 MRU/MFU split
and this is accounted in various places where arc_p = arc_c >> 1,
with further adjustment based on ghost lists size/hit. However, in
current code both arc_adapt() and arc_get_data_impl() aggressively
grow arc_p until arc_c is reached, causing unneeded pressure on
MFU and greatly reducing its scan-resistance until ghost list
adjustments kick in.
This patch restores the original behavior of initially having arc_p
as 1/2 of total ARC, without preventing MRU to use up to 100% total
ARC when MFU is empty.
