The problem is that zfs_get_data() supplies a stale zgd_bp to
dmu_sync(), which we then nopwrite against.
zfs_get_data() doesn't hold any DMU-related locks, so after it
copies db_blkptr to zgd_bp, dbuf_write_ready() could change
db_blkptr, and dbuf_write_done() could remove the dirty record.
dmu_sync() then sees the stale BP and that the dbuf it not dirty,
so it is eligible for nop-writing.
The fix is for dmu_sync() to copy db_blkptr to zgd_bp after
acquiring the db_mtx. We could still see a stale db_blkptr,
but if it is stale then the dirty record will still exist and
thus we won't attempt to nopwrite.
