ARC shrinking blocks reads/writes
ZFS registers a memory hook, `__arc_shrinker_func`, which is supposed to
allow the ARC to shrink when the kernel experiences memory pressure.
The ARC shrinker changes `arc_c` via a call to
`arc_reduce_target_size()`.  Before commit 3ec34e5527, the ARC
shrinker would also evict data from the ARC to bring `arc_size` down to
the new `arc_c`.  However, that commit (seemingly inadvertently) made it
so that the ARC shrinker no longer evicts any data or waits for eviction
to complete.

Repeated calls to the ARC shrinker can reduce `arc_c` drastically, often
all the way to `arc_c_min`.  Since it doesn't wait for the actual
eviction of data from the ARC, this creates a situation where `arc_size`
is more than `arc_c` for the several seconds/minutes it takes for
`arc_adjust_zthr` to evict data from the ARC.  During this time,
arc_get_data_impl() will block, so ZFS can't process read/write requests
(e.g. from iSCSI, NFS, or read/write syscalls).

To ensure that `arc_c` doesn't shrink faster than the adjust thread can
keep up, this commit makes the ARC shrinker wait for the eviction to
complete, resulting in similar behavior to what we had before commit
3ec34e5527.

Note: commit 3ec34e5527 is `OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread
has 2 jobs` and was integrated in December 2018, and is part of ZoL
0.8.x but not 0.7.x.

Additionally, when the ARC size is reduced drastically, the
`arc_adjust_zthr` can be on-CPU for many seconds without blocking.  Any
threads that are bound to the same CPU that arc_adjust_zthr is running
on will not able to run for a long time.

To ensure that CPU-bound threads can make progress, this commit changes
`arc_evict_state_impl()` make a voluntary preemption call,
`cond_resched()`.
