This fixes bugzilla 57491. If we take a snapshot of a fs with a unlink ongoing and then try to send that root we will run into problems. When comparing with a parent root we will search the parents and the send roots commit_root, which if we've just created the snapshot will include the file that needs to be evicted by the orphan cleanup. So when we find a changed extent we will try and copy that info into the send stream, but when we lookup the inode we use the normal root, which no longer has the inode because the orphan cleanup deleted it. The best solution I have for this is to check our otransid with the generation of the commit root and if they match just commit the transaction again, that way we get the changes from the orphan cleanup. With this patch the reproducer I made for this bugzilla no longer returns ESTALE when trying to do the send.
