Use percpu_counter for obj_alloc counter of Linux-backed caches
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.
