Gvozden Neskovic ee36c709c3 Performance optimization of AVL tree comparator functions
perf: 2.75x faster ddt_entry_compare()
    First 256bits of ddt_key_t is a block checksum, which are expected
to be close to random data. Hence, on average, comparison only needs to
look at first few bytes of the keys. To reduce number of conditional
jump instructions, the result is computed as: sign(memcmp(k1, k2)).

Sign of an integer 'a' can be obtained as: `(0 < a) - (a < 0)` := {-1, 0, 1} ,
which is computed efficiently.  Synthetic performance evaluation of
original and new algorithm over 1G random keys on 2.6GHz Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2660 v3:

old	6.85789 s
new	2.49089 s

perf: 2.8x faster vdev_queue_offset_compare() and vdev_queue_timestamp_compare()
    Compute the result directly instead of using conditionals

perf: zfs_range_compare()
    Speedup between 1.1x - 2.5x, depending on compiler version and
optimization level.

perf: spa_error_entry_compare()
    `bcmp()` is not suitable for comparator use. Use `memcmp()` instead.

perf: 2.8x faster metaslab_compare() and metaslab_rangesize_compare()
perf: 2.8x faster zil_bp_compare()
perf: 2.8x faster mze_compare()
perf: faster dbuf_compare()
perf: faster compares in spa_misc
perf: 2.8x faster layout_hash_compare()
perf: 2.8x faster space_reftree_compare()
perf: libzfs: faster avl tree comparators
