Add support for POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED

For now make it only evict the specified data from the dbuf cache.
Even though dbuf cache is small, this may still reduce eviction of
more useful data from there, and slightly accelerate ARC evictions
by making the blocks there evictable a bit sooner.

On FreeBSD this also adds support for POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, since the
kernel translates it into POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED after every read/write.
This is not as efficient as it could be for ZFS, but that is the only
way FreeBSD kernel allows to handle POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE now.
