Tomohiro Kusumi 328c95e391 Remove vn_set_fs_pwd()/vn_set_pwd() (no need to be at / during insmod)
Per suggestion from @behlendorf in #8777, remove vn_set_fs_pwd() and
vn_set_pwd() which are only used in zfs_ioctl.c:_init() while loading
zfs.ko.

The rest of initialization functions being called here after cwd set
to / don't depend on cwd of the process except for spa_config_load().
spa_config_load() uses a relative path ".//etc/zfs/zpool.cache" when
`rootdir` is non-NULL, which is "/etc/zfs/zpool.cache" given cwd is /,
so just unconditionally use the absolute path without "./", so that
`vn_set_pwd("/")` as well as the entire functions can be removed.
This is also what FreeBSD does.
