The patch here adds a simple specialization so that when creating ZonedDateTimes using a ZoneOffset we don't query the rules at all. This removes the risk of extra allocations and slightly speeds up ZonedDateTime creation for both ZoneOffset (+14%) and ZoneRegion (+5%) even when EA works like it should (the case in the here provided microbenchmark).

src/java.base/share/classes/java/time/ZoneRegion.java line 183:

The nanoAdjustment passed to `ofEpochSecond` is discarded in this code.
It may be larger than a second;  see `Instant.ofEpochSecond(sec, nano)` for the details.
Adding a second parameter to the `getOffset` method could be the remedy.
