Remove dummy znode from zvol_state

Description

Remove dummy znode from zvol_state

struct zvol_state contains a dummy znode, which is around 1KB on x64,
only for zfs_range_lock. But in reality, other than z_range_lock and
z_range_avl, zfs_range_lock only need znode on regular file, which
means we add 1KB on a structure and gain nothing.

In this patch, we remove the dummy znode for zvol_state. In order to
do that, we also need to refactor zfs_range_lock a bit. We move
z_range_lock and z_range_avl pair out of znode_t to form zfs_rlock_t.
This new struct replaces znode_t as the main handle inside the range
lock functions.

We also add pointers to z_size, z_blksz, and z_max_blksz so range lock
code doesn't depend on znode_t. This allows non-ZPL consumers like
Lustre to use the range locks with their equivalent znode_t structure.
