Prevent deadlock in arc_read in Linux memory reclaim callback

Description

Prevent deadlock in arc_read in Linux memory reclaim callback

Using zfs with Lustre, an arc_read can trigger kernel memory allocation
that in turn leads to a memory reclaim callback and a deadlock within a
single zfs process. This change uses spl_fstrans_mark and
spl_trans_unmark to prevent the reclaim attempt and the deadlock
(https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-devel/T4db2c705ec1804ba).
