dnode_next_offset is used in a variety of places to iterate over the
holes or allocated blocks in a dnode. It operates under the premise that
it can iterate over the blockpointers of a dnode in open context while
holding only the dn_struct_rwlock as reader. Unfortunately, this premise
does not hold.

When we create the zio for a dbuf, we pass in the actual block pointer
in the indirect block above that dbuf. When we later zero the bp in
zio_write_compress, we are directly modifying the bp. The state of the
bp is now inconsistent from the perspective of dnode_next_offset: the bp
will appear to be a hole until zio_dva_allocate finally finishes filling
it in. In the meantime, dnode_next_offset can detect a hole in the dnode
when none exists.

I was able to experimentally demonstrate this behavior with the
following setup:
1. Create a file with 1 million dbufs.
2. Create a thread that randomly dirties L2 blocks by writing to the
first L0 block under them.
3. Observe dnode_next_offset, waiting for it to skip over a hole in the
middle of a file.
4. Do dnode_next_offset in a loop until we skip over such a non-existent
hole.

The fix is to ensure that it is valid to iterate over the indirect
blocks in a dnode while holding the dn_struct_rwlock by passing the zio
a copy of the BP and updating the actual BP in dbuf_write_ready while
holding the lock.
