Brian Behlendorf b29012b999 Remove condition variable names 
Long ago I added support to the spl for condition variable names
because I thought they might be needed.  It turns out they aren't.
In fact the official Solaris cv_init(9F) man page discourages
their use in the kernel.

  cv_init(9F)
    Parameters
      name - Descriptive string. This is obsolete and should be
             NULL. (Non-NULL strings are legal, but they're a
             waste of kernel memory.)

Therefore, I'm removing them from the spl to reclaim this memory
and adding an ASSERT() to ensure no new consumers are added which
make use of the name.

README.markdown

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
