Fix dnode allocation race
When performing concurrent object allocations using the new multi-threaded allocator and large dnodes it's possible to allocate overlapping large dnodes. This case should have been handled by detecting an error returned by dnode_hold_impl(). But that logic only checked the returned dnp was not-NULL, and the dnp variable was not reset to NULL when retrying. Resolve this issue by properly checking the return value of dnode_hold_impl(). Additionally, it was possible that dnode_hold_impl() would misreport a dnode as free when it was in fact in use. This could occurs for two reasons: * The per-slot zrl_lock must be held over the entire critical section which includes the alloc/free until the new dnode is assigned to children_dnodes. Additionally, all of the zrl_lock's in the range must be held to protect moving dnodes. * The dn->dn_ot_type cannot be solely relied upon to check the type. When allocating a new dnode its type will be DMU_OT_NONE after dnode_create(). Only latter when dnode_allocate() is called will it transition to the new type. This means there's a window when allocating where it can mistaken for a free dnode.
