ilbsmart 779a6c0bf6 deadlock between mm_sem and tx assign in zfs_write() and page fault
The bug time sequence:
1. thread #1, `zfs_write` assign a txg "n".
2. In a same process, thread #2, mmap page fault (which means the
   `mm_sem` is hold) occurred, `zfs_dirty_inode` open a txg failed,
   and wait previous txg "n" completed.
3. thread #1 call `uiomove` to write, however page fault is occurred
   in `uiomove`, which means it need `mm_sem`, but `mm_sem` is hold by
   thread #2, so it stuck and can't complete,  then txg "n" will
   not complete.

So thread #1 and thread #2 are deadlocked.
