Description

A number of areas are vulnerable to refcount leaks, particularly in error paths. Existing refcount leaks need to be plugged.

Ideally, we should develop a mechanism to check for these types of mistakes, perhaps as a static analyzer extension.

Specific areas that currently need to be fixed:
- zap_cursor_fini() is not always called in error cases.
- zap_table_load(): calls dbuf_rele() unconditionally after dbuf_hold().
- dsl_dataset_hold_obj(): dbuf_rele() not called in error case.
