Matthew Ahrens 45579c9515 Reduce taskq and context-switch cost of zio pipe
When doing a read from disk, ZFS creates 3 ZIO's: a zio_null(), the
logical zio_read(), and then a physical zio. Currently, each of these
results in a separate taskq_dispatch(zio_execute).

On high-read-iops workloads, this causes a significant performance
impact. By processing all 3 ZIO's in a single taskq entry, we reduce the
overhead on taskq locking and context switching.  We accomplish this by
allowing zio_done() to return a "next zio to execute" to zio_execute().

This results in a ~12% performance increase for random reads, from
96,000 iops to 108,000 iops (with recordsize=8k, on SSD's).
