zonefs: Cache zone group directory inodes

Since looking up any zone file inode requires looking up first the inode
for the directory representing the zone group of the file, ensuring that
the zone group inodes are always cached is desired. To do so, take an
extra reference on the zone groups directory inodes on mount, thus
avoiding the eviction of these inodes from the inode cache until the
volume is unmounted.
