Porting Notes:

sa_handle_get_from_db():
  - the original patch includes an otherwise unmentioned fix for a
    possible usage of an uninitialised variable

dmu_objset_open_impl():
  - Under Illumos list_link_init() is the same as filling a list_node_t
    with NULLs, so they don't notice if they miss doing list_link_init()
    on a zero'd containing structure (e.g. allocated with kmem_zalloc as
    here). Under Linux, not so much: an uninitialised list_node_t goes
    "Boom!" some time later when it's used or destroyed.

dmu_objset_evict_dbufs():
  - reduce stack usage using kmem_alloc()
