Before this patch, in zfs_domount, if zfs_root or d_make_root fails, we
leave zfsvfs != NULL. This will lead to execution of the error handling
`if` statement at the `out` label, and hence to a call to
dmu_objset_disown and zfsvfs_free.
However, zfs_umount, which we call upon failure of zfs_root and
d_make_root already does dmu_objset_disown and zfsvfs_free.
I suppose this patch rather adds to the brittleness of this part of the
code base, but I don't want to invest more time in this right now.
To add a regression test, we'd need some kind of fault injection
facility for zfs_root or d_make_root, which doesn't exist right now.
And even then, I think that regression test would be too closely tied
to the implementation.
To repro the double-disown / double-free, do the following:
1. patch zfs_root to always return an error
2. mount a ZFS filesystem
Here's the stack trace you would see then:
