Fix synchronous behavior in __vdev_disk_physio()

Commit b39c22b set the READ_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC flags for a bio
based on the ZIO_PRIORITY_* flag passed in.  This had the unnoticed
side-effect of making the vdev_disk_io_start() synchronous for
certain I/Os.

This in turn resulted in vdev_disk_io_start() being able to
re-dispatch zio's which would result in a RCU stalls when a disk
was removed from the system.  Additionally, this could negatively
impact performance and explains the performance regressions reported
in both #3829 and #3780.

This patch resolves the issue by making the blocking behavior
dependent on a 'wait' flag being passed rather than overloading
the passed bio flags.

Finally, the WRITE_SYNC and READ_SYNC behavior is restricted to
non-rotational devices where there is no benefit to queuing to
aggregate the I/O.
