[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 1/3] file-restore: add zfs. prefix to arc_min/max settings

Currently the values set for zfs_arc_min and zfs_arc_max are ignored
by the kernel:
```
Unknown kernel command line parameters... will be passed to user space
```
module parameters provided on the commandline usually need to be
prefixed with the modulename (e.g. zfs.zfs_arc_min, see [0] for a bit
on related information (the issue itself is not related)).

Paradoxically currently ZFS will print spurious warnings about
settings being ignored when they are actually set - see [1].

Booting the debug image and connecting the shell on the serial console
confirmed that the values did not seem to be set:
`grep '^c_' /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats` showed half of the memory
for c_max.
