Ameer Hamza 3523b5f3f9 L2ARC: Implement even-depth multi-sublist scanning
The introduction of ARC multilists made L2ARC writing quite random,
depending on whether it found something to write in a randomly selected
sublist. This created inconsistent write patterns and poor utilization
of available sublists leading to uneven cache population.

This commit replaces random selection with systematic scanning across
all sublists within each burst. Fair headroom distribution ensures
even-depth traversal across all sublists until the target write size
is reached. Round-robin processing with random starting points eliminates
sequential bias while maintaining predictable write behavior.

The systematic approach provides consistent L2ARC filling patterns
and better utilization of available ARC data across all sublists.
