rS356819: Use buf to send speedup

Summary

It turns out there's a problem with using g_io to send the speedup. It leads to
a race when there's a resource shortage when a disk fails.

Instead, send BIO_SPEEDUP via struct buf. This is pretty straight forward,
except we need to transfer the bio_flags from b_ioflags for BIO_SPEEDUP commands
in g_vfs_strategy.

I have never been a fan of short-circuiting the layers, so am fine with keeping them intact.

minor nit: the returned "resid" value is unused. otherwise looks good.

I go back and forth on this. I'd like the interface to return how much of the shortage it could handle, but neither place I use it now does....
I'll take it out for now.
