rbd: prevent kernel stack blow up on rbd map
Mapping an image with a long parent chain (e.g. image foo, whose parent
is bar, whose parent is baz, etc) currently leads to a kernel stack
overflow, due to the following recursion in the reply path:
  rbd_osd_req_callback()
    rbd_obj_request_complete()
      rbd_img_obj_callback()
        rbd_img_parent_read_callback()
          rbd_obj_request_complete()
            ...
Limit the parent chain to 16 images, which is ~5K worth of stack.  When
the above recursion is eliminated, this limit can be lifted.
