OpenZFS 9330 - stack overflow when creating a deeply nested dataset
Datasets that are deeply nested (~100 levels) are impractical. We just
put a limit of 50 levels to newly created datasets. Existing datasets
should work without a problem.
The problem can be seen by attempting to create a dataset using the -p
option with many levels:

Porting notes:
- Added zfs_max_dataset_nesting module option with documentation.
- Updated zfs_rename_014_neg.ksh for Linux.
- Increase the zfs.sh stack warning to 15K. Enough time has passed that 16K can be reasonably assumed to be the default value. It was increased in the 3.15 kernel released in June of 2014.
