The ZFS_IOC_POOL_TRYIMPORT ioctl returns an nvlist from the kernel to a
preallocated buffer in userland. Userland must guess how large the
buffer should be. If it undersizes it, it must reallocate and try
again. That can cost a lot of time for large pools.
OpenZFS commit 28b40c8a6e set the guess at "zc.zc_nvlist_conf_size * 4"
without explanation. On my system, that is too small. From experiment,
x 32 is a better multiplier. But I don't know how to calculate it
theoretically.
