Remove spa_namespace_lock from zpool status
This commit removes spa_namespace_lock from the zpool status codepath. This means that zpool status will not hang if a pool fails while holding the spa_namespace_lock. Background: The spa_namespace_lock was originally meant to protect the spa_namespace_avl AVL tree. The spa_namespace_avl tree held the mappings from pool names to spa_t's. So if you wanted to lookup the spa_t for the "tank" pool, you would do an AVL search for "tank" while holding spa_namespace_lock. Over time though the spa_namespace_lock was re-purposed to protect other critical codepaths in the spa subsystem as well. In many cases we don't know what the original authors meant to protect with it, or if they needed it for read-only or read-write protection. It is simply "too big and risky to fix properly". The workaround is to add a new lightweight version of the spa_namespace_lock called spa_namespace_lite_lock. spa_namespace_lite_lock only protects the AVL tree, and nothing else. It can be used for read-only access to the AVL tree without requiring the spa_namespace_lock. Calls to spa_lookup_lite() and spa_next_lite() only need to acquire a reader lock on spa_namespace_lite_lock; they do not need to also acquire the old spa_namespace_lock. This allows us to still run zpool status even if the zfs module has spa_namespace_lock held. Note that these AVL tree locks only protect the tree, not the actual spa_t contents.
