Add zfs_sync_pass_* tunable parameters

Description

Add zfs_sync_pass_* tunable parameters

Commit 55d85d5a8c45c4559a4a0e675c37b0c3afb19c2f (backport of
the upstream changes) replaced three hardcoded constants:

#define SYNC_PASS_DEFERRED_FREE 2 /* defer frees after this pass */
#define SYNC_PASS_DONT_COMPRESS 4 /* don't compress after this pass */
#define SYNC_PASS_REWRITE       1 /* rewrite new bps after this pass */

with a tunable parameters:

int zfs_sync_pass_deferred_free = 2; /* defer frees starting in this pass */
int zfs_sync_pass_dont_compress = 5; /* don't compress starting in this pass */
int zfs_sync_pass_rewrite = 2;       /* rewrite new bps starting in this pass */

This commit makes these tunables available as module parameters
in Linux. They should only be used for performance analysis
because changing them can result in subtle and pathological
performance problems.
