This is a sync of zfs 0.7.9-3ubuntu4 that fixes a mount/umount deadlock
for upstream ZFS commit ac09630d8b0b ("Fix zpl_mount() deadlock")

ZFS commit 93b43af inadvertently introduced the following scenario which
can result in a deadlock.  This issue was most easily reproduced by
LXD containers using a ZFS storage backend but should be reproducible
under any workload which is frequently mounting and unmounting.

-- THREAD A --
spa_sync()
  spa_sync_upgrades()
    rrw_enter(&dp->dp_config_rwlock, RW_WRITER, FTAG); <- Waiting on B

-- THREAD B --
mount_fs()
  zpl_mount()
    zpl_mount_impl()
      dmu_objset_hold()
        dmu_objset_hold_flags()
          dsl_pool_hold()
            dsl_pool_config_enter()
              rrw_enter(&dp->dp_config_rwlock, RW_READER, tag);
    sget()
      sget_userns()
        grab_super()
          down_write(&s->s_umount); <- Waiting on C

-- THREAD C --
cleanup_mnt()
  deactivate_super()
    down_write(&s->s_umount);
    deactivate_locked_super()
      zpl_kill_sb()
        kill_anon_super()

            sync_filesystem()
              zpl_sync_fs()
                zfs_sync()
                  zil_commit()
                    txg_wait_synced() <- Waiting on A
