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

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.
