Brian Behlendorf f604673836 Make arc_prune() asynchronous
As described in the comment above arc_adapt_thread() it is critical
that the arc_adapt_thread() function never sleep while holding a hash
lock.  This behavior was possible in the Linux implementation because
the arc_prune() logic was implemented to be synchronous.  Under
illumos the analogous dnlc_reduce_cache() function is asynchronous.

To address this the arc_do_user_prune() function is has been reworked
in to two new functions as follows:

* arc_prune_async() is an asynchronous implementation which dispatches
the prune callback to be run by the system taskq.  This makes it
suitable to use in the context of the arc_adapt_thread().

* arc_prune() is a synchronous implementation which depends on the
arc_prune_async() implementation but blocks until the outstanding
callbacks complete.  This is used in arc_kmem_reap_now() where it
is safe, and expected, that memory will be freed.

This patch additionally adds the zfs_arc_meta_strategy module option
while allows the meta reclaim strategy to be configured.  It defaults
to a balanced strategy which has been proved to work well under Linux
but the illumos meta-only strategy can be enabled.
