kib 57921f916a Detect and optimize reads from the hole on UFS.
- Create getblkx(9) variant of getblk(9) which can return error.
- Add GB_NOSPARSE flag for getblk()/getblkx() which requests that BMAP
  was performed before the buffer is created, and EJUSTRETURN returned
  in case the requested block does not exist.
- Make ffs_read() use GB_NOSPARSE to avoid instantiating buffer (and
  allocating the pages for it), copying from zero_region instead.

The end result is less page allocations and buffer recycling when a
hole is read, which is important for some benchmarks.
