Allow empty ds_props_obj to be destroyed
Currently, 'zfs list' and 'zfs get' commands can be slow when working with snapshots that have a ds_props_obj. This is because the code that discovers all of the properties for these snapshots needs to read this object for each snapshot, which almost always ends up causing an extra random synchronous read for each snapshot. This performance penalty exists even if the properties on that snapshot have been unset because the object is normally only freed when the snapshot is freed, even though it is only created when it is needed. This patch allows the user to regain 'zfs list' performance on these snapshots by destroying the ds_props_obj when it no longer has any entries left. In practice on a production machine, this optimization seems to make 'zfs list' about 55% faster.
