There are regions in the ZFS code where it is desirable to be able to be set PF_FSTRANS while a specific mutex is held. The ZFS code could be updated to set/clear this flag in all the correct places, but this is undesirable for a few reasons. 1) It would require changes to a significant amount of the ZFS code. This would complicate applying patches from upstream. 2) It would be easy to accidentally miss a critical region in the initial patch or to have an future change introduce a new one. Both of these concerns can be addressed by adding a new mutex type which is responsible for managing PF_FSTRANS. This lets us make a a small change to the ZFS source where the mutex is initialized and then be certain that all future use of that mutex will be safe.
