Fix deadlock in 'zfs rollback'
Currently, the 'zfs rollback' code can end up deadlocked due to
the way the kernel handles unreferenced inodes on a suspended fs.
Essentially, the zfs_resume_fs() code path may cause zfs to spawn
new threads as it reinstantiates the suspended fs's zil. When a
new thread is spawned, the kernel may attempt to free memory for
that thread by freeing some unreferenced inodes. If it happens to
select inodes that are a a part of the suspended fs a deadlock
will occur because freeing inodes requires holding the fs's
z_teardown_inactive_lock which is still held from the suspend.
This patch corrects this issue by adding an additional reference
to all inodes that are still present when a suspend is initiated.
This prevents them from being freed by the kernel for any reason.
