Description 
While trying to move data from zion to osiris, two streams failed with:

internal error: Arg list too long

On the recv side.  We tracked this down to the following code in
dmu_tx_count_free():

                if (txh->txh_memory_tohold > DMU_MAX_ACCESS) {
                        txh->txh_tx->tx_err = E2BIG;
                        dbuf_rele(dbuf, FTAG);
                        break;
                }

The datasets in question were for crash dumps and core files, so
it's reasonable to expect very large files to be deleted in
between snapshots.
