Cap metaslab memory usage

On systems with large amounts of storage and high fragmentation, a huge 
amount of space can be used by storing metaslab range trees. Since 
metaslabs are only unloaded during a txg sync, and only if they have 
been inactive for 8 txgs, it is possible to get into a state where all 
of the system's memory is consumed by range trees and metaslabs, and 
txgs cannot sync. While ZFS knows how to evict ARC data when needed, 
it has no such mechanism for range tree data. This can result in boot 
hangs for some system configurations.

First, we add the ability to unload metaslabs outside of syncing 
context. Second, we store a multilist of all loaded metaslabs, sorted 
by their selection txg, so we can quickly identify the oldest 
metaslabs.  We use a multilist to reduce lock contention during heavy 
write workloads. Finally, we add logic that will unload a metaslab 
when we're loading a new metaslab, if we're using more than a certain 
fraction of the available memory on range trees.
