MFC r294329 (by asomers): Disallow zvol-backed ZFS pools

Using zvols as backing devices for ZFS pools is fraught with panics and
deadlocks. For example, attempting to online a missing device in the
presence of a zvol can cause a panic when vdev_geom tastes the zvol.  Better
to completely disable vdev_geom from ever opening a zvol. The solution
relies on setting a thread-local variable during vdev_geom_open, and
returning EOPNOTSUPP during zvol_open if that thread-local variable is set.

Remove the check for MUTEX_HELD(&zfsdev_state_lock) in zvol_open. Its intent
was to prevent a recursive mutex acquisition panic. However, the new check
for the thread-local variable also fixes that problem.

Also, fix a panic in vdev_geom_taste_orphan. For an unknown reason, this
function was set to panic. But it can occur that a device disappears during
tasting, and it causes no problems to ignore this departure.
