Alexander Motin c2668b2d10 Better fill empty metaslabs
Before this change zfs_metaslab_switch_threshold tunable switched
metaslabs each time ones index reduced by two (which means biggest
contiguous chunk reduced to 1/4).  It is a good idea to balance
metaslabs fragmentation.  But for empty metaslabs (having power-
of-2 sizes) this means switching when they get just below the half
of their capacity.  Inspection with zdb after filling new pool to
half capacity shown most of its metaslabs filled to half capacity.
I consider this sub-optimal for pool fragmentation in a long run.

This change blocks the metaslabs switching if most of the metaslab
free space (15/16) is represented by a single contiguous range.
Such metaslab should not be considered fragmented until it actually
fail some big allocation.  More contiguous filling should improve
data locality and increase time before previously filled and
partially freed metaslab is touched again, giving it more time to
free more contiguous chunks for lower fragmentation.  It should
also slightly reduce spacemap traffic.
