Disable arc_p adapt dampener by default

It's unclear why adjustments to arc_p need to be dampened as they are in
arc_adjust. With that said, it's removal significantly improves the arc's
ability to "warm up" to a given workload. Thus, I'm disabling by default
until its usefulness is better understood.
