Bugfix: Avoid a null pointer dereference in zfs_mount() on FreeBSD #14218

Motivation and Context

Stop FreeBSD Panicing at boot when using ZFS as the root filesystem

Description

When mounting the root filesystem, vfs_t->mnt_vnodecovered is null

This will cause zfsctl_is_node() to dereference a null pointer when mounting, or updating the mount flags, on the root filesystem, both of which happen during the boot process.

Booting FreeBSD in a VM using openzfs.ko (master)
