Porting notes:
This fixes an upstream regression that was introduced in commit
zfsonlinux/zfs@
e51be06697762215dc3b679f8668987034a5a048, which
ported the Illumos 3552 changes. This fix was added to upstream
rather quickly, but at the time of the port, no one spotted it and
the race was rare enough that it passed our regression tests. I
discovered this when comparing our metaslab.c to the illumos
metaslab.c.
Without this change it is possible for metaslab_group_alloc() to
consume a large amount of cpu time. Since this occurs under a
mutex in a rcu critical section the kernel will log this to the
console as a self-detected cpu stall as follows:
INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 0}
