zfs_ioc_snapshot: check user-prop permissions on snapshotted datasets

[avg-I]

Previously, the permissions were checked on the pool which was obviously
incorrect.

After this change, zfs_check_userprops() only validates the properties
without any permission checks. The permissions are checked individually
for each snapshotted dataset.

This is a bug fix for #9179.

I think that ideally the permission should be checked on newly created snapshots, but I am not sure how to arrange that. Maybe the check should be pushed down to dsl_dataset_snapshot_check.

Do you mean we should only check for permission to set the user property if the snapshot is actually created (as opposed to failing to be created with an error)? I don't think that's needed, especially since the snapshot creation is all-or-nothing: if one snapshot can't be created, the whole ioctl fails and no snapshots are created.

In any case, the PR looks good to me. At least aside from the build error:

/var/lib/buildbot/slaves/zfs/Ubuntu_18_04_x86_64__BUILD_/build/zfs/module/zfs/zfs_ioctl.c: In function ‘zfs_check_userprops’:
/var/lib/buildbot/slaves/zfs/Ubuntu_18_04_x86_64__BUILD_/build/zfs/module/zfs/zfs_ioctl.c:2745:6: error: unused variable ‘error’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
  int error = 0;
      ^~~~~

Matt, thank you for the comment. I will fix the error ASAP.
Regarding the checks... I was thinking that the userprop permission / delegation should be somehow checked on a snapshot, yet to be created, not on its head dataset. That is, I hypothesize that there could be a configuration where setting user properties is not allowed for the head dataset, but it is allowed for its snapshots (or vice versa). But I am not sure if such configuration is actually possible. Maybe I am overthinking this?

@avg-I Delegated permissions work on a per-filesystem level. Snapshots can't have their own permissions, they can only inherit from their containing filesystem. So the scenerio you outlined would be possible if there were separate permissions for "set user property on this filesystem" and "set user property on any snapshot of this filesystem", but there could not be a permission of "set user property on this snapshot (but not other snapshots of this filesystem)". At least not with the current architecture. So checking on the filesystem would still be sufficient.

Matt, thank you for the explanation.

I think that the latest test failures are not related to this change.
At least, I cannot see a connection.

Tests with results other than PASS that are unexpected:
    FAIL history/history_002_pos (expected PASS)
    FAIL vdev_zaps/vdev_zaps_005_pos (expected PASS)

This looks right to me. It seems you get particularly unlucky with the CI and ran in to several known issue. I think it would be worthwhile to rebase this on today's master branch and send it through again. The CentOS 6 and Fedora 30 failures at least have been resolved.

[behlendorf]

The CI failures observed are all for known existing issue. I've resubmitted the failing runs for good measure.
