Move cv_destroy() outside zp->z_range_lock()
With the recent SPL change (d599e4fa) that forces cv_destroy()
to block until all waiters have been woken. It is now unsafe
to call cv_destroy() under the zp->z_range_lock() because it
is used as the condition variable mutex. If there are waiters
cv_destroy() will block until they wake up and aquire the mutex.
However, they will never aquire the mutex because cv_destroy()
will not return allowing it's caller to drop the lock. Deadlock.
To avoid this cv_destroy() is now run asynchronously in a taskq.
This solves two problems:
1) It is no longer run under the zp->z_range_lock so no deadlock.
2) Since cv_destroy() may now block we don't want this slowing
down zfs_range_unlock() and throttling the system.
This was not as much of an issue under OpenSolaris because their
cv_destroy() implementation does not do anything. They do however
risk a bad paging request if cv_destroy() returns, the memory holding
the condition variable is free'd, and then the waiters wake up and
try to reference it. It's a very small unlikely race, but it is
possible.
