Kohsuke Kawaguchi 77831e1738 Reduce the stack usage of dsl_dataset_remove_clones_key
dataset_remove_clones_key does recursion, so if the recursion goes
deep it can overrun the linux kernel stack size of 8KB. I have seen
this happen in the actual deployment, and subsequently confirmed it by
running a test workload on a custom-built kernel that uses 32KB stack.

See the following stack trace as an example of the case where it would
have run over the 8KB stack kernel:

This change reduces the stack usage in dsl_dataset_remove_clones_key
by allocating structures in heap, not in stack.  This is not a fundamental
fix, as one can create an arbitrary large data set that runs over any
fixed size stack, but this will make the problem far less likely.
