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.
