Shaan Nobee 9e5a297de6 Speed up WB_SYNC_NONE when a WB_SYNC_ALL occurs simultaneously
Page writebacks with WB_SYNC_NONE can take several seconds to complete
since they wait for the transaction group to close before being
committed. This is usually not a problem since the caller does not
need to wait. However, if we're simultaneously doing a writeback
with WB_SYNC_ALL (e.g via msync), the latter can block for several
seconds (up to zfs_txg_timeout) due to the active WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback since it needs to wait for the transaction to complete
and the PG_writeback bit to be cleared.

This commit deals with 2 cases:

- No page writeback is active. A WB_SYNC_ALL page writeback starts
  and even completes. But when it's about to check if the PG_writeback
  bit has been cleared, another writeback with WB_SYNC_NONE starts.
  The sync page writeback ends up waiting for the non-sync page
  writeback to complete.

- A page writeback with WB_SYNC_NONE is already active when a
  WB_SYNC_ALL writeback starts. The WB_SYNC_ALL writeback ends up
  waiting for the WB_SYNC_NONE writeback.

The fix works by carefully keeping track of active sync/non-sync
writebacks and committing when beneficial.
