Brian Behlendorf 49be0ccf1f Add zio constructor/destructor
Add a standard zio constructor and destructor.  Normally, this is
done to reduce to cost of allocating a new structure by reducing
expensive operations such as memory allocations.  However, in this
case none of the operations moved out of zio_create() were really
very expensive.

This change was principly made as a debug patch (and workaround)
for a zio_destroy() race.  The is good evidence that zio_create()
is reinitializing a mutex which is really still in use by another
thread.  This would completely explain the observed symptoms in
the issue report.

This patch doesn't fix the root cause of the race, but it should
make it less likely by only initializing the mutex once in the
constructor.  Also, this particular flaw might have gone unnoticed
in other zfs implementations due to the specific implementation
details of Linux ticket spinlocks.

Once the real root cause is determined and resolved this change
can be safely reverted.  Until then this should help workaround
the issue.

README.markdown

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./configure
$ make pkg
