Improve zfs destroy performance with zio_t-free zio_free()
When "zfs destroy" is run, it completes quickly, and in the background we locate the blocks to free and free them. This background activity can be observed with `zpool get freeing` and `zpool wait -t free ...`. This background activity is processed by a single thread (the spa_sync thread) which calls zio_free() on each of the blocks to free. With even modest storage performance, the CPU consumption of zio_free() can be the performance bottleneck. Performance of zio_free() can be improved by not actually creating a zio_t in the common case (non-dedup, non-gang), instead calling metaslab_free() directly. This avoids the CPU cost of allocating the zio_t, and more importantly the cost of adding and later removing this zio_t from the parent zio's child list. The result is that performance of background freeing more than doubles, from 0.6 million blocks per second to 1.3 million blocks per second.
