spa_preferred_class() selects a storage class based on (among other
things) the DMU object type. This only works for old-style object types
that match only one specific kind of thing. For DMU_OTN_ types we need
another way to signal the storage class.
This commit allows the object type to be overridden in the IO policy for
the purposes of choosing a storage class. It then adds the ability to
set the storage type on a dnode hold, such that all writes generated
under that hold will get it.
This method has two shortcomings:
- it would be better if we could "name" a set of storage class
preferences rather than it being implied by the object type.
- it would be better if this info were stored in the dnode on disk.
In the absence of those things, this seems like the smallest possible
change.
