779a6c0bf6 deadlock between mm_sem and tx assign in zfs_write() and page fault
The bug time sequence:
1. thread #1, `zfs_write` assign a txg "n".
2. In a same process, thread #2, mmap page fault (which means the
   `mm_sem` is hold) occurred, `zfs_dirty_inode` open a txg failed,
   and wait previous txg "n" completed.
3. thread #1 call `uiomove` to write, however page fault is occurred
   in `uiomove`, which means it need `mm_sem`, but `mm_sem` is hold by
   thread #2, so it stuck and can't complete,  then txg "n" will
   not complete.

So thread #1 and thread #2 are deadlocked.

590329b50c Add basic uio support
This code originates in OpenSolaris and was modified by KQ Infotech
to be compatible with Linux.  While supporting uios in the short
term is useful to get something working this is not an abstraction
we want to keep.  This code is expected to be short lived and
removed as soon as all the remaining uio based APIs and updated.
