Prevent zdb(8) from occasionally hanging on I/O

Browse Source 
The zdb(8) command may not terminate in the case where the pool
gets suspended and there is a caller in zio_wait() blocking on
an outstanding read I/O that will never complete.  This can in
turn cause ztest(1) to block indefinitely despite the deadman.

Resolve the issue by setting the default failure mode for zdb(8)
to panic.  In user space we always want the command to terminate
when forward progress is no longer possible.
