OpenZFS 9284 - arc_reclaim_thread has 2 jobs
Following the fix for 9018 (Replace kmem_cache_reap_now() with kmem_cache_reap_soon), the arc_reclaim_thread() no longer blocks while reaping. However, the code is still confusing and error-prone, because this thread has two responsibilities. We should instead separate this into two threads each with their own responsibility: 1. keep `arc_size` under `arc_c`, by calling `arc_adjust()`, which improves `arc_is_overflowing()` 2. keep enough free memory in the system, by calling `arc_kmem_reap_now()` plus `arc_shrink()`, which improves `arc_available_memory()`. Furthermore, we can use the zthr infrastructure to separate the "should we do something" from "do it" parts of the logic, and normalize the start up / shut down of the threads.

whats the point of kmem_cache_reap_active if its not implemented and just returns zero. from my understanding it should track the state if a reap is already running and should prevent the event. so this might cause a race condition here since the function is not implemented

kmem_cache_reap_active()
was implemented this way to keep the basic flow of the code consistent with the change in OpenZFS. The way the kmem caches were implemented in the spl on Linux there already exists logic to skip a cache which is currently reaping. This was an issue we resolved in a slightly different way a while ago.
