Evaluated every variable that lives in .data (and globals in .rodata)
in the kernel modules, and constified/eliminated/localised them
appropriately. This means that all read-only data is now actually
read-only data, and, if possible, at file scope. A lot of previously-
global-symbols became inlinable (and inlined!) constants. Probably
not in a big Wowee Performance Moment, but hey.

Several of the nvlist functions may perform allocations larger than
the 32k warning threshold. Convert them to use vmem_alloc() so the
best allocator is used.
Commit efcd79a retired KM_NODEBUG which was used to suppress large
allocation warnings. Concurrently the large allocation warning threshold
was increased from 8k to 32k. The goal was to identify the remaining
locations, such as this one, where the allocation can be larger than
32k. This patch is expected fine tuning resulting for the kmem-rework
changes, see commit 6e9710f.

Callers of kmem_alloc() which passed the KM_NODEBUG flag to suppress
the large allocation warning have been replaced by vmem_alloc() as
appropriate. The updated vmem_alloc() call will not print a warning
regardless of the size of the allocation.
A careful reader will notice that not all callers have been changed
to vmem_alloc(). Some have only had the KM_NODEBUG flag removed.
This was possible because the default warning threshold has been
increased to 32k. This is desirable because it minimizes the need
for Linux specific code changes.

The vast majority of these changes are in Linux specific code.
They are the result of not having an automated style checker to
validate the code when it was originally written. Others were
caused when the common code was slightly adjusted for Linux.
This patch contains no functional changes. It only refreshes
the code to conform to style guide.
Everyone submitting patches for inclusion upstream should now
run 'make checkstyle' and resolve any warning prior to opening
a pull request. The automated builders have been updated to
fail a build if when 'make checkstyle' detects an issue.

Closes#1821
The non-blocking allocation handlers in nvlist_alloc() would be
mistakenly assigned if any flags other than KM_SLEEP were passed.
This meant that nvlists allocated with KM_PUSHPUSH or other KM_*
debug flags were effectively always using atomic allocations.
While these failures were unlikely it could lead to assertions
because KM_PUSHPAGE allocations in particular are guaranteed to
succeed or block. They must never fail.
Since the existing API does not allow us to pass allocation
flags to the private allocators the cleanest thing to do is to
add a KM_PUSHPAGE allocator.

Closeszfsonlinux/spl#249
The current ZFS implementation stores xattrs on disk using a hidden
directory. In this directory a file name represents the xattr name
and the file contexts are the xattr binary data. This approach is
very flexible and allows for arbitrarily large xattrs. However,
it also suffers from a significant performance penalty. Accessing
a single xattr can requires up to three disk seeks.
1) Lookup the dnode object.
2) Lookup the dnodes's xattr directory object.
3) Lookup the xattr object in the directory.
To avoid this performance penalty Linux filesystems such as ext3
and xfs try to store the xattr as part of the inode on disk. When
the xattr is to large to store in the inode then a single external
block is allocated for them. In practice most xattrs are small
and this approach works well.
The addition of System Attributes (SA) to zfs provides us a clean
way to make this optimization. When the dataset property 'xattr=sa'
is set then xattrs will be preferentially stored as System Attributes.
This allows tiny xattrs (~100 bytes) to be stored with the dnode and
up to 64k of xattrs to be stored in the spill block. If additional
xattr space is required, which is unlikely under Linux, they will be
stored using the traditional directory approach.
This optimization results in roughly a 3x performance improvement
when accessing xattrs which brings zfs roughly to parity with ext4
and xfs (see table below). When multiple xattrs are stored per-file
the performance improvements are even greater because all of the
xattrs stored in the spill block will be cached.
However, by default SA based xattrs are disabled in the Linux port
to maximize compatibility with other implementations. If you do
enable SA based xattrs then they will not be visible on platforms
which do not support this feature.
