Public bug reported:

File /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs owned by zfs-initramfs has a
section of code after the following comment

        # Wait for all keystore devices in /dev/zvol to appear with a 5s
timeout

Where it tries to find entries in /dev/zvol, which result in spurious
error messages on my system, which does not have any zvols in the zroot
pool, which during early booting is the maybe only pool accessed.

find: '/dev/zvol/': No such file or directory

Obviously things are being tried which are useless to try, when no zvols
exist, maybe the whole block doing find below /dev/zvol could be guarded
by the existence of /dev/zvol/ directory.

Booting continues, it does not seem broken. I am not using any keystore
devices.  It could be only a scary useless error log to be fixed.
