dbuf_evict_notify() holds the dbuf_evict_lock while checking if it should
do the eviction itself (because the evict thread is not able to keep up).
This can result in massive lock contention.  It isn't necessary to hold
the lock, because if we make the wrong choice occasionally, nothing bad
will happen. This commit results in a ~60% performance improvement for
ARC-cached sequential reads.
