Brian Behlendorf 76351672c2 Fix zfsctl_expire_snapshot() deadlock
It is possible for an automounted snapshot which is expiring to
deadlock with a manual unmount of the snapshot.  This can occur
because taskq_cancel_id() will block if the task is currently
executing until it completes.  But it will never complete because
zfsctl_unmount_snapshot() is holding the zsb->z_ctldir_lock which
zfsctl_expire_snapshot() must acquire.

---------------------- z_unmount/0:2153 ---------------------
  mutex_lock                <blocking on zsb->z_ctldir_lock>
  zfsctl_unmount_snapshot
  zfsctl_expire_snapshot
  taskq_thread

------------------------- zfs:10690 -------------------------
  taskq_wait_id             <waiting for z_unmount to exit>
  taskq_cancel_id
  __zfsctl_unmount_snapshot
  zfsctl_unmount_snapshot   <takes zsb->z_ctldir_lock>
  zfs_unmount_snap
  zfs_ioc_destroy_snaps_nvl
  zfsdev_ioctl
  do_vfs_ioctl

We resolve the deadlock by dropping the zsb->z_ctldir_lock before
calling __zfsctl_unmount_snapshot().  The lock is only there to
prevent concurrent modification to the zsb->z_ctldir_snaps AVL
tree.  Moreover, we're careful to remove the zfs_snapentry_t from
the AVL tree before dropping the lock which ensures no other tasks
can find it.  On failure it's added back to the tree.
