Prakash Surya 92334b14ec Add new kstat for monitoring time in dmu_tx_assign
This change adds a new kstat to gain some visibility into the amount of
time spent in each call to dmu_tx_assign. A histogram is exported via
a new dmu_tx_assign_histogram-$POOLNAME file. The information contained
in this histogram is the frequency dmu_tx_assign took to complete given
an interval range. For example, given the below histogram file:

    $ cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dmu_tx_assign_histogram-tank
    12 1 0x01 32 1536 19792068076691 20516481514522

one can see most calls to dmu_tx_assign completed in 32us or less, but a
few outliers did not. Specifically, 4 of the calls took between 262144us
and 131072us. This information is difficult, if not impossible, to gather
without this change.
