Avoid ELOOP on auto-mounted snapshots
Ensure that the path member pointers are associated with the
newly-mounted snapshot when zpl_snapdir_automount() returns. Otherwise
the follow_automount() function may be called repeatedly, leading to an
incorrect ELOOP error return. This problem was observed as a 'Too many
levels of symbolic links' error from user-space commands accessing an
unmounted snapshot in the .zfs/snapshot directory.
