Brian Behlendorf 11f552fa90 Update arc_available_memory() to check freemem
While Linux doesn't provide detailed information about the state of
the VM it does provide us total free pages.  This information should
be incorporated in to the arc_available_memory() calculation rather
than solely relying on a signal from direct reclaim.  Conceptually
this brings arc_available_memory() back in sync with illumos.

It is also desirable that the target amount of free memory be tunable
on a system.  While the default values are expected to work well
for most workloads there may be cases where custom values are needed.
The zfs_arc_sys_free module option was added for this purpose.

zfs_arc_sys_free - The target number of bytes the ARC should leave
                   as free memory on the system.  This value can
                   checked in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats and
                   setting this module option will override the
                   default value.
