Currently, when attempting to list snapshots ZFS may do a lot of
extra work checking child datasets. This is because the code does
not realize that it will not be able to reach any snapshots
contained within snapshots that are at the depth limit since the
snapshots of those datasets are counted as an additional layer
deeper. This patch corrects this issue.
In addition, this patch adds the ability to do perform the commands:
$ zfs list -t snapshot <dataset>
$ zfs get -t snapshot <prop> <dataset>
as a convenient way to list out properties of all snapshots of a
given dataset without having to use the depth limit.
