KUDU-2193 (part 2): avoid holding TSTabletManager::lock_ for a long time
This changes tablet report generation to only hold the TSTabletManager lock
long enough to copy a list of refs to the relevant tablets.
Even though the lock is a reader-writer lock, a long read-side critical
section can end up blocking other readers as long as any writer shows up.
I saw the following in a cluster:
- election storm ongoing
- T1 generating a tablet report (thus holding the reader lock)
- blocks for a long time getting ConsensusState from some tablets currently
mid-fsync.
- T2 handling a DeleteTablet or CreateTablet call (waiting for writer lock)
- T3 through T20: blocking on reader lock in LookupTablet()
The effect here is that all other threads end up blocked until T1 finishes
its tablet report generation, which in this case can be tens of seconds due
to all of the fsync traffic. These blocked threads then contribute to the
ongoing election storm since they may delay timely responses to vote requests
from other tablets.
I tested this and the previous patch on a cluster that was previously
experiencing the issue. I triggered some elections by kill -STOPping some
servers and resuming them a few seconds later. Without these patches,
other servers started doing lots of context switches (due to the spinlock
used prior to this patch series) and I saw lots of blocked threads in
pstack. With the patch, things seem cleaner.
The following screenshot shows before/after voluntary_context_switch rate:

(the missing data around 5pm is my restarting the servers with this patch)
