L2ARC: Restrict write size to 1/4 of the device #15519

PR #15457 exposed weird logic in L2ARC write sizing. If it appeared bigger than device size, instead of liming write it reset all the system-wide tunables to their default. Aside of being excessive, it did not actually help with the problem, still allowing infinite loop to happen.

This patch removes the tunables reverting logic, but instead limits L2ARC writes (or at least eviction/trim) to 1/4 of the capacity.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Library ABI change (libzfs, libzfs_core, libnvpair, libuutil and libzfsbootenv)
  • Documentation (a change to man pages or other documentation)

Aligned write size to vdev_ashift, otherwise vdev_trim_simple() could be unhappy.
