Support re-prioritizing asynchronous prefetches

When sequential scrubs were merged, all calls to arc_read()
(including prefetch IOs) were given ZIO_PRIORITY_ASYNC_READ.
Unfortunately, this behaves badly with an existing issue where
prefetch IOs cannot be re-prioritized after the issue. The
result is that synchronous reads end up in the same vdev_queue
as the scrub IOs and can have (in some workloads) multiple
seconds of latency.

This patch incorporates 2 changes. The first ensures that all
scrub IOs are given ZIO_PRIORITY_SCRUB to allow the vdev_queue
code to differentiate between these I/Os and user prefetches.
Second, this patch introduces zio_change_priority() to provide
the missing capability to upgrade a zio's priority.
