Alec Brown 95e614a11b fs/zfs/zfs: Avoid pointer downcasting in dnode_get()
Coverity marks multiple issues in grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c as either "Untrusted
value as argument", "Untrusted pointer read", or "Untrusted loop bound". Each
of these issues share a common cause where Coverity finds that data->dnode_buf
gets tainted by dnbuf since it is downcasting from (void *) to (dnode_phys_t *)
and could imply that the data the pointer points to is tainted. However, the
function zio_read(), which reads this data from disk, sanitizes this data by
verifying its checksum. To resolve the issues for Coverity, setting dnbuf to
(dnode_phys_t *) at the start of the function dnode_get() seems to do the trick.
