drivers: Add zfs device to allow use of zfs commands
Previously, zfs device was being only provided to allow the use of commands needed to create the zpool, and so the file system. At that time, doing so was quite enough, however, making zfs device, i.e. /dev/zfs part of every OSv instance would allow us to use commands that will help analysing, debugging, tuning the zpool and file systems there contained. The basic explanation is that those commands use libzfs which in turn relies on /dev/zfs to communicate with the zfs code. Commands example: zpool, zfs, zdb. The latter one not being ported to OSv yet. This patch will also be helpful for the ongoing ztest porting. Reviewed-by:Nadav Har'El <nyh@cloudius-systems.com> Signed-off-by:
