Add dbgmsg kstat

Description

Add dbgmsg kstat

Internally ZFS keeps a small log to facilitate debugging. By default
the log is disabled, to enable it set zfs_dbgmsg_enable=1. The contents
of the log can be accessed by reading the /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg file.
Writing 0 to this proc file clears the log.

$ echo 1 >/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_dbgmsg_enable
$ echo 0 >/proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg
$ zpool import tank
$ cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg
1 0 0x01 -1 0 2492357525542 2525836565501
timestamp message
1441141408 spa=tank async request task=1
1441141408 txg 70 open pool version 5000; software version 5000/5; ...
1441141409 spa=tank async request task=32
1441141409 txg 72 import pool version 5000; software version 5000/5; ...
1441141414 command: lt-zpool import tank

Note the zfs_dbgmsg() and dprintf() functions are both now mapped to
the same log. As mentioned above the kernel debug log can be accessed
though the /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg kstat. For user space consumers
log messages are immediately written to stdout after applying the
ZFS_DEBUG environment variable.

$ ZFS_DEBUG=on ./cmd/ztest/ztest -V
