Something in r291926 (and earlier) causes reboots during periodic daily (14 jails on system)

I doubt very much that's involved; I have multiple production systems
with dynamic_write_buffer turned on and I've yet to see a panic from
periodic activity or anything like it.

The only panic I've got open right now that's related to ZFS happens
during a send/receive backup and it's able to be reproduced only with
difficulty (it looks to be a problem in snapshot management as I've
isolated it fairly well but haven't yet found the root cause) -- and it
can be coaxed out of a bare "clean" -STABLE install with no ZFS patches
in at all.  (The codepath that results in the panic doesn't have a
logical connection to that patch, but I tested without it anyway just to
make sure.)
