Subject: [PATCH] Correctly handle errors from kern_path

As a regular kernel function, kern_path() returns errors as negative
errnos, such as -ELOOP. zfsctl_snapdir_vget() must convert these into
the positive errnos used throughout the ZFS code when it returns them
to other ZFS functions so that the ZFS code properly sees them as
errors.
