Brian Behlendorf ef5b2e1048 Avoid blocking in arc_reclaim_thread()
As described in the comment above arc_reclaim_thread() it's critical
that the reclaim thread be careful about blocking.  Just like it must
never wait on a hash lock, it must never wait on a task which can in
turn wait on the CV in arc_get_data_buf().  This will deadlock, see
issue #3822 for full backtraces showing the problem.

To resolve this issue arc_kmem_reap_now() has been updated to use the
asynchronous arc prune function.  This means that arc_prune_async()
may now be called while there are still outstanding arc_prune_tasks.
However, this isn't a problem because arc_prune_async() already
keeps a reference count preventing multiple outstanding tasks per
registered consumer.  Functionally, this behavior is the same as
the counterpart illumos function dnlc_reduce_cache().
