Illumos 3835 zfs need not store 2 copies of all metadata

Reviewed by: George Wilson <[email protected]>

Approved by: Richard Lowe <[email protected]>

Description from Matt Ahrens's bug report at Delphix:

    Add a new zfs property, "redundant_metadata" which can have values
    "all" or "most".  The default will be "all", which is the current
    behavior.  Setting to "most" will cause us to only store 1 copy of
    level-1 indirect blocks of user data files.

Additional notes:

    The new man page section for this property states

        "The exact behavior of which metadata blocks
         are stored redundantly may change in future releases."

    and:

        "When set to most, ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of
         metadata. This can improve performance of random writes,
         because less metadata must be written."

    The current implementation is as described above in Matt's blog.
    It is controlled by a new global integer
    "zfs_redundant_metadata_most_ditto_level", currently initialized
    to 2. When "redundant_metadata" is set to "most", only indirect
    blocks of the specified level and higher will have additional ditto
    blocks created.
