In some cases during heavy tx vdev stop-start
would timeout on vdev synchronization causing
traffic to stall for a few seconds.
Instead of stop-starting use a dedicated vdev
restart command and down vdevs explicitly before
doing so.
This gets rid of the synchronization
warnings/timeouts and makes channel switching
smoother during traffic.
