Brad Lewis 3ec34e5527 OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread has 2 jobs
Following the fix for 9018 (Replace kmem_cache_reap_now() with
kmem_cache_reap_soon), the arc_reclaim_thread() no longer blocks
while reaping.  However, the code is still confusing and error-prone,
because this thread has two responsibilities.  We should instead
separate this into two threads each with their own responsibility:

 1. keep `arc_size` under `arc_c`, by calling `arc_adjust()`, which
    improves `arc_is_overflowing()`

 2. keep enough free memory in the system, by calling
    `arc_kmem_reap_now()` plus `arc_shrink()`, which improves
    `arc_available_memory()`.

Furthermore, we can use the zthr infrastructure to separate the
"should we do something" from "do it" parts of the logic, and
normalize the start up / shut down of the threads.
