Update zlsof -d command

Update the zlsof -d command to identify the blocksize in its output so the size of the locked or delete file can be accurately determined.

Today, the zlsof -d displays the following:
Command
PID User
File System
Mountpoint
Size
Inode/file

The user cannot determine the measurement presented in the Size field. Is it bytes, is it 512byte blocks, is it 1K blocks or something else?

Knowing the size of the locked/deleted file will help the administrator determine how much space that file was using in the ZFS file.

This is important when determined the actual overall size of a ZFS file that has locked/deleted files. Unfortunately, ZFS will hold the space used by the locked/deleted file until it actually gets removed via an unmount/remount.
