arc_meta_limit should be updated when arc_max is changed.

When arc_max is increased, arc_meta_limit will not be updated to 3/4
of the new arc_c_max value.  This was done originally to preserve any
existing maximum value.  This turned out to be counter intuitive to
users and this fix changes that behavior.  If zfs_arc_meta_limit is
non-default, it will be picked up later in the ARC tuning function.
