Move platform specific parts of zfs_znode.h to platform code
Some of the znode fields are different and functions consuming an inode don't exist on FreeBSD. Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Jorgen Lundman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Matt Macy <[email protected]> Closes #9536

+ * Range locking rules
+ * --------------------
+ * 1. When truncating a file (zfs_create, zfs_setattr, zfs_space) the whole
+ * file range needs to be locked as RL_WRITER. Only then can the pages be
+ * freed etc and zp_size reset. zp_size must be set within range lock.
+ * 2. For writes and punching holes (zfs_write & zfs_space) just the range
+ * being written or freed needs to be locked as RL_WRITER.
+ * Multiple writes at the end of the file must coordinate zp_size updates
+ * to ensure data isn't lost. A compare and swap loop is currently used
+ * to ensure the file size is at least the offset last written.
+ * 3. For reads (zfs_read, zfs_get_data & zfs_putapage) just the range being
+ * read needs to be locked as RL_READER. A check against zp_size can then
+ * be made for reading beyond end of file.
