The performance of `zfs receive` can be bottlenecked on the CPU consumed by the `receive_writer` thread, especially when receiving streams with small compressed block sizes. Much of the CPU is spent creating and destroying dbuf's and arc buf's, one for each `WRITE` record in the send stream. This commit introduces the concept of "lightweight writes", which allows `zfs receive` to write to the DMU by providing an ABD, and instantiating only a new type of `dbuf_dirty_record_t`. The dbuf and arc buf for this "dirty leaf block" are not instantiated. Because there is no dbuf with the dirty data, this mechanism doesn't support reading from "lightweight-dirty" blocks (they would see the on-disk state rather than the dirty data). Since the dedup-receive code has been removed, `zfs receive` is write-only, so this works fine. Because there are no arc bufs for the received data, the received data is no longer cached in the ARC. Testing a receive of a stream with average compressed block size of 4KB, this commit improves performance by 50%, while also reducing CPU usage by 50% of a CPU. On a per-block basis, CPU consumed by receive_writer() and dbuf_evict() is now 1/7th (14%) of what it was. Baseline: 450MB/s, CPU in receive_writer() 40% + dbuf_evict() 35% New: 670MB/s, CPU in receive_writer() 17% + dbuf_evict() 0% The code is also restructured in a few ways: Added a `dr_dnode` field to the dbuf_dirty_record_t. This simplifies some existing code that no longer needs `DB_DNODE_ENTER()` and related routines. The new field is needed by the lightweight-type dirty record. To ensure that the `dr_dnode` field remains valid until the dirty record is freed, we have to ensure that the `dnode_move()` doesn't relocate the dnode_t. To do this we keep a hold on the dnode until it's zio's have completed. This is already done by the user-accounting code (`userquota_updates_task()`), this commit extends that so that it always keeps the dnode hold until zio completion (see `dnode_rele_task()`). `dn_dirty_txg` was previously zeroed when the dnode was synced. This was not necessary, since its meaning can be "when was this dnode last dirtied". This change simplifies the new `dnode_rele_task()` code. Removed some dead code related to `DRR_WRITE_BYREF` (dedup receive).
