MFC r287103 (by avg): 5692 expose the number of hole blocks in a file
FreeBSD porting notes:
- only kernel-side changes are merged
- the new ioctl is not actually implemented yet
- thus, the goal is to synchronize DMU code

we would like to expose the number of hole (sparse) blocks in a file.
this can be useful to for example if you want to fill in the holes with
some data; knowing the number of holes in advances allows you to report
progress on hole filling. We could use SEEK_HOLE to do that but it would
be O(n) where n is the number of holes present in the file.
