Brian Behlendorf 218b4e0a76 Add zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function
For kernels which do not implement a per-suberblock shrinker,
those older than Linux 3.1, the shrink_dcache_parent() function
was used to attempt to reclaim dentries.  This was found not be
entirely reliable and could lead to performance issues on older
kernels running meta-data heavy workloads.

To address this issue a zfs_sb_prune_aliases() function has been
added to implement this functionality.  It relies on traversing
the list of znodes for a filesystem and adding them to a private
list with a reference held.  The private list can then be safely
walked outside the z_znodes_lock to prune dentires and drop the
last reference so the inode can be freed.

This provides the same synchronous behavior as the per-filesystem
shrinker and has the advantage of depending on only long standing
interfaces.
