This patch attempts to reduce lock contention on the current arc_state_t
mutexes. These mutexes are used liberally to protect the number of LRU
lists within the ARC (e.g. ARC_mru, ARC_mfu, etc). The granularity at
which these locks are acquired has been shown to greatly affect the
performance of highly concurrent, cached workloads.
