Many TYPE_NULL ZIOs are used to provide a sync point for child ZIOs, and
do not do any actual work themselves. However, they are still dispatched
to a dedicated, single-thread taskq, which leads to their execution
being entirely task switch and dequeue overhead for no actual reason.
This commit changes it so that when selecting a parent ZIO to execute,
if the parent is TYPE_NULL and has no done function (that is, no
additional work), it is executed on the same thread. This reduces task
switches and frees up CPU cores for other work.
