    dbuf_evict_notify() holds the dbuf_evict_lock while checking if it should do
    the eviction itself (because the evict thread is not able to keep up).
    This can result in massive lock contention.
    It isn't necessary to hold the lock, because if we make the wrong choice
    occasionally, nothing bad will happen.
