Drop spill buffer reference
When calling sa_update() and friends it is possible that a spill buffer will be needed to accomidate the update. When this happens a hold is taken on the new dbuf and that hold must be released before calling dmu_tx_commit(). Failing to release the hold will cause a copy of the dbuf to be made in dbuf_sync_leaf(). This is done to ensure further updates to the dbuf never sneak in to the syncing txg. This could be left to the sa_update() caller. But then the caller would need to be aware of this internal SA implementation detail. It is therefore preferable to handle this all internally in the SA implementation. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #503 Closes #513
