As discussed in #3717, ZFS has known bugs around SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA causing it to indicate spurious holes. We detect the case where it (inconsistently) ends up indicating the hole to be zero sized, but depending on the sequencing of events, the related upstream issues indicate that the file system could indicate a non-zero-sized spurious hole on these versions. To avoid trace corruption on such file systems, we must skip our SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA optimizations.
