zfs groups writes together into transaction groups; the physical writes
to disk are generally initiated by kernel threads (which appear in
dtrace as threads of the "sched" process).  Changing the attribution is
not going to be simple as a single physical write to the pool may
contain data and metadata changes triggered by multiple user processes.

You need to go up a level of abstraction and look at the vnode layer to
attribute writes to particular processes.
