dbuf_read() creates a zio_root() to track and wait for all the zio's
that may happen as part of this call. However, if the blkptr_t for
this buffer is NULL or a hole, we will not create any more zio's, so
this zio_root() is unnecessary. This is always the case when calling
dbuf_read() on a bonus buffer, because it has no blkptr (it's part of
the containing dnode). For workloads that read a lot of bonus buffers
(e.g. file creation and removal), creating and destroying these
unnecessary zio's can decrease performance by around 3%.
