Description

LLVM's static analyzer reported that we could pass an uninitialized
pool_guid to spa_by_guid() in vdev_inuse(). Upon review, it is correct.
An attempt to repurpose a spare or L2ARC drive from an exported pool
will cause the pool_guid passed to spa_by_guid() to be unintialized
information from the stack. This will cause non-deterministic behavior.
Since there is no reason why we cannot repurpose such disks, we modify
vdev_inuse() to avoid calling spa_by_guid() when they are detected.
