Prakash Surya 409dc1a570 Use KM_PUSHPAGE in l2arc_write_buffers
There is potential for deadlock in the l2arc_feed thread if KM_PUSHPAGE
is not used for the allocations made in l2arc_write_buffers.
Specifically, if KM_PUSHPAGE is not used for these allocations, it is
possible for reclaim to be triggered which can cause the l2arc_feed
thread to deadlock itself on the ARC_mru mutex. An example of this is
demonstrated in the following backtrace of the l2arc_feed thread:
