libnv: Fix handling of nvlist_dump() and nvlist_send() for child nvlists
Suppose an nvlist nvl belongs to a parent nvlist or nvlist array. In
this case, nvl contains a pointer to its container. This trips up
nvlist_send(nvl) and nvlist_dump(nvl), which intuitively should only
operate on nvl and its nvpairs. In particular, both of these functions
will traverse to nvl's parent and start sending/dumping the parent's
nvpairs, which results in assertion failures or nonsensical output,
respectively.
