Retire zio_bulk_flags

Long ago the zio_bulk_flags module parameter was introduced to
facilitate debugging and profiling the zio_buf_caches.  Today
this code works well and there's no compelling reason to keep
this functionality.  In fact it's preferable to revert this so
the code is more consistent with other ZFS implementations.

-# To avoid memory fragmentation issues our slab implementation can be
-# based on a virtual address space.  Interestingly, we take a pretty
-# substantial performance penalty for this somewhere in the low level
-# IO drivers.  If we back the slab with kmem pages we see far better
-# read performance numbers at the cost of memory fragmention and general
-# system instability due to large allocations.  This may be because of
-# an optimization in the low level drivers due to the contigeous kmem
-# based memory.  This needs to be explained.  The good news here is that
-# with zerocopy interfaces added at the DMU layer we could gaurentee
-# kmem based memory for a pool of pages.
