5981 Deadlock in dmu_objset_find_dp

https://www.illumos.org/issues/5981

When dmu_objset_find_dp gets called with a read lock held, it fans out
the work to the task queue. Each task in turn acquires its own read
lock before calling the callback. If during this process anyone tries
to a acquire a write lock, it will stall all read lock requests.Thus
the tasks will never finish, the read lock of the caller will never
get freed and the write lock never acquired.  deadlock.
