When there are many snapshots, calls to zfs_ioc_space_snaps() (e.g. from
`zfs destroy -nv pool/fs@snap1%snap10000`) can be very slow, resulting
in poor performance because we are holding the dp_config_rwlock the
entire time, blocking spa_sync() from continuing. With around ten
thousand snapshots, we've seen up to 500 seconds in this ioctl,
iterating over up to 50,000,000 bpobjs, ~99% of which are the empty
bpobj.
By creating a fast path for zfs_ioc_space_snaps() handling of the
empty_bpobj, we can achieve a ~5x performance improvement of this ioctl
(when there are many snapshots, and the deadlist is mostly
empty_bpobj's).
