Turbo Fredriksson 30607d9b7b Document SPL module parameters.
This is a first draft of a spl-module-parameters(5) man page. I have
just extracted the parameter name and its description with modinfo,
then checked the source what type it is and its default value.

This will need more work, preferably someone that actually know these
values and what to use them for.  Similar to zfsonlinux/zfs#1856, but
for the spl.
