Fix deadlock in zfs_zget()

Browse Source 
zfsonlinux/zfs#180 occurred because of a race between inode eviction and
zfs_zget(). zfsonlinux/zfs@36df284 tried to address it by making a call
to the VFS to learn whether an inode is being evicted.  If it was being
evicted the operation was retried after dropping and reacquiring the
relevant resources.  Unfortunately, this introduced another deadlock.

This patch implements the original fix in a slightly different manner in
order to avoid both deadlocks.  Instead of relying on a call to ilookup()
which can block in __wait_on_freeing_inode() the return value from igrab()
is used.  This gives us the information that ilookup() provided without
the risk of a deadlock.

Alternately, this race could be closed by registering an sops->drop_inode()
callback.  The callback would need to detect the active SA hold thereby
informing the VFS that this inode should not be evicted.
