We limit the size of nvlists passed to the kernel so a user cannot make
the kernel do an unreasonably large allocation. On FreeBSD this limit
was 128 kiB, which turns out to be a bit too small when doing some
operations involving a large number of datasets or snapshots, for
example replication.
Make this limit tunable, with a platform-specific auto default.
Linux keeps its limit at KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. FreeBSD uses 1/4 of the
system limit on user wired memory, which allows it to scale depending
on system configuration.
