ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.

On dcenter, we saw that we were caching ~256GB of metadata, while the
pool only had <4GB of metadata on disk.  We were wasting about half the
system's RAM (252GB) on blocks that have been freed.

Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus will
eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory inefficiently for 2
reasons:

1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but will
be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed before it
(and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has at least some
chance of being accessed again.

2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)

The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the primary
control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata is to
simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the past
(each bucket "evicts against" itself).  The secondary control is to
evict data before evicting metadata.

Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has more
recently accessed, still-allocated blocks.  Data in the useful bucket
(with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to data in
the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).

On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the MFU
data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB.  However,
the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB) was freed
blocks, and thus useless.  Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket (230MB)
was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.

The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation.  However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.
