If a filesystem is not unmounted while the rename is being performed, then, for
example, a concurrect zfs rollback may call zfs_suspend_fs followed by
zfs_resume_fs on the same filesystem.
The latter takes the filesystem's name as an argument. If the filesystem name
changes as a result of the rename, then dmu_objset_hold(osname, zfsvfs, &os)
call in zfs_resume_fs would fail resulting in a kernel panic.
So far I have been able to reproduce this problem on FreeBSD where zfs rename
has -u option that skips the unmounting before doing the renaming.
But I think that in theory the same problem can occur on illumos as well,
because the unmounting is done in userland before invoking the rename ioctl and
there could be a race with, e.g., zfs mount.
