Brian Behlendorf 57f5a2008e Fix txg_quiesce thread deadlock
A deadlock was accidentally introduced by commit e95853a which
can occur when the system is under memory pressure.  What happens
is that while the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu
locks it enters memory reclaim.  In the context of this memory
reclaim it then issues synchronous I/O to a ZVOL swap device.
Because the txg_quiesce thread is holding the tx->tx_cpu locks
a new txg cannot be opened to handle the I/O.  Deadlock.

The fix is straight forward.  Move the memory allocation outside
the critical region where the tx->tx_cpu locks are held.  And for
good measure change the offending allocation to KM_PUSHPAGE to
ensure it never attempts to issue I/O during reclaim.
