    kernel - Fix degenerate cluster_write() cases
    
    * cluster_write() should bdwrite() as a fallback, not bawrite().
    
      Note that cluster_awrite() always bawrite()'s or equivalent.  The
      DragonFly API split the functions out, so cluster_write() can now
      almost always bdwrite() for the non-clustered case.
    
    * Solves some serious performance and real-time disk space usage issues
      when HAMMER1 was updated to use the cluster calls.  The disk space
      would be recovered by the daily cleanup but the extra writes could
      end up being quite excessive, 25:1 unnecessary writes vs necessary
      writes.
