Title: Fix gcc array subscript above bounds warning

In a debug build, certain GCC versions flag an array bounds warning in
the below code from dnode_sync.c

} else {
int i;
ASSERT(dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff] < dnp->dn_nblkptr);
/* the blkptrs we are losing better be unallocated */
for (i = dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff];
i < dnp->dn_nblkptr; i++)
ASSERT(BP_IS_HOLE(&dnp->dn_blkptr[i]));

This usage is in fact safe, since the ASSERT ensures the index does
not exceed to maximum possible number of block pointers. However gcc
can't determine that the assignment 'i = dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff];'
falls within the array bounds so it issues a warning. To avoid this,
initialize i to zero to make gcc happy but skip the elements before
dn->dn_next_nblkptr[txgoff] in the loop body. Since a dnode contains
at most 3 block pointers this overhead should be negligible.

Closes #950
