Brian Behlendorf 1229323d5f Align thread priority with Linux defaults
Under Linux filesystem threads responsible for handling I/O are
normally created with the maximum priority.  Non-I/O filesystem
processes run with the default priority.  ZFS should adopt the
same priority scheme under Linux to maintain good performance
and so that it will complete fairly when other Linux filesystems
are active.  The priorities have been updated to the following:

$ ps -eLo rtprio,cls,pid,pri,nice,cmd | egrep 'z_|spl_|zvol|arc|dbu|meta'

Note that under Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted
with respect to illumos.  High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority
while high value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.

In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted.  This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.

This patch depends on https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/pull/466.
