Bug #537: time-slider is snapshotting swap and dump after upgrading to oi_147

As background, this is a x86 system that's been upgraded from OpenSolaris snv_133, and the time-slider configuration I'm using is unmodified post-upgrade (save for disabling the legacy time-slider-cleanup cron job).

On this system rpool/swap and rpool/dump - which are both configured with 'com.sun:auto-snapshot = false' - are being snapshotted at every possible interval (e.g. hourly, frequent, daily, etc). Additionally, it seems that time-slider is not ever cleaning up these snapshots, even when they have a "USED" value of 0. This results in hundreds of empty snapshots being created which I've had to manually remove.

Auto snapshots for other filesystems, seem to be both created and destroyed as expected, and other filesystems with 'com.sun:auto-snapshot = false' are not being snapshotted at all (as expected).

All zfs pools and filesystems have all been upgraded to the latest version. I've tried restarting the time-slider services but that seems to have no effect.
