patch for sa.c

After r286575, there is a possible assert fail in: 
  sa_handle_get_from_db() -> dmu_buf_init_user() -> ASSERT(dbu->dbu_evict_func
== NULL);

When the sa_cache zone first allocates memory from VM, 
sa_cache_constructor() does not initialize the dbu_evict_func that contains
garbage. 
This will trigger the assert. 

Only after the memory is freed, the sa_cache_destructor() set dbu_evict_func to
NULL and returns it to the zone for next use. 
So, the next time sa_handle_get_from_db() allocates the same memory from the
zone, the dbu_evict_func is NULL.
