This is a potentially arguable change, because it removes some compatibility cruft that certain systems or people may have come to rely on (either a very long time ago, or unwisely in recent times). On the other hand, it's been literally over a decade since OpenZFS switched to the strategy of using opaque numbered /dev/zd* device nodes, with the canonical zvol access path being a directory tree of symlinks created by udev rules inside /dev/zvol/*. (See #102.) Even at the time, the /dev/* scheme was labeled as being for "compatibility". This commit removes the second tree of symlinks located directly at /dev/*, under the assumption that anybody with any sense has been using the intended /dev/zvol/* path for a very very long time now. (The more I think about this, the more I anticipate that some large fraction of people will have been blissfully unaware that the intention has been for them to use the /dev/zvol/* tree all along, and they will have come to rely upon the /dev/* tree simply because it's been there this whole time despite being a compat thing.)
