a887d653b3 Restrict kstats and print real pointers
There are several places where we use zfs_dbgmsg and %p to
print pointers. In the Linux kernel, these values obfuscated
to prevent information leaks which means the pointers aren't
very useful for debugging crash dumps. We decided to restrict
the permissions of dbgmsg (and some other kstats while we were
at it) and print pointers with %px in zfs_dbgmsg as well as
spl_dumpstack

d12614521a Fixes for procfs files backed by linked lists
There are some issues with the way the seq_file interface is implemented
for kstats backed by linked lists (zfs_dbgmsgs and certain per-pool
debugging info):

* We don't account for the fact that seq_file sometimes visits a node
  multiple times, which results in missing messages when read through
  procfs.
* We don't keep separate state for each reader of a file, so concurrent
  readers will receive incorrect results.
* We don't account for the fact that entries may have been removed from
  the list between read syscalls, so reading from these files in procfs
  can cause the system to crash.

This change fixes these issues and adds procfs_list, a wrapper around a
linked list which abstracts away the details of implementing the
seq_file interface for a list and exposing the contents of the list
through procfs.
