Improved dnode allocation and dmu_hold_impl()
Refactor dmu_object_alloc_dnsize() and dnode_hold_impl() to simplify the
code, fix errors introduced by commit
dbeb879 (PR #6117) interacting
badly with large dnodes, and improve performance.
* When allocating a new dnode in dmu_object_alloc_dnsize(), update the
percpu object ID for the core's metadnode chunk immediately. This
eliminates most lock contention when taking the hold and creating the
dnode.
* Correct detection of the chunk boundary to work properly with large
dnodes.
* Separate the dmu_hold_impl() code for the FREE case from the code for
the ALLOCATED case to make it easier to read.
* Fully populate the dnode handle array immediately after reading a
block of the metadnode from disk. Subsequently the dnode handle array
provides enough information to determine which dnode slots are in use
and which are free.
* Add several kstats to allow the behavior of the code to be examined.
* Verify dnode packing in large_dnode_008_pos.ksh. Since the test is
purely creates, it should leave very few holes in the metadnode.
* Add test large_dnode_009_pos.ksh, which performs concurrent creates
and deletes, to complement existing test which does only creates.
With the above fixes, there is very little contention in a test of about
200,000 racing dnode allocations produced by tests 'large_dnode_008_pos'
and 'large_dnode_009_pos'.

The performance is slightly improved for concurrent creates with
16+ threads, and unchanged for low thread counts.
