Pawel Jakub Dawidek 0cee24064a Speed up 'zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name'
FreeBSD #xxx:  Dramatically optimize listing snapshots when user
requests only snapshot names and wants to sort them by name, ie.
when executes:

  # zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name

Because only name is needed we don't have to read all snapshot
properties.

Below you can find how long does it take to list 34509 snapshots
from a single disk pool before and after this change with cold and
warm cache:

    before:

        # time zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name > /dev/null
        cold cache: 525s
        warm cache: 218s

    after:

        # time zfs list -t snapshot -o name -s name > /dev/null
        cold cache: 1.7s
        warm cache: 1.1s

NOTE: This patch only appears in FreeBSD.  If/when Illumos picks up
the change we may want to drop this patch and adopt their version.
However, for now this addresses a real issue.
