Backreference walking, which is used by send to figure if it can issue clone operations instead of write operations, can be very slow and use too much memory when extents have many references. This change simply skips backreference walking when an extent has more than 64 references, in which case we fallback to a write operation instead of a clone operation. This limit is conservative and in practice I observed no signicant slowdown with up to 100 references and still low memory usage up to that limit. This is a temporary workaround until there are speedups in the backref walking code, and as such it does not attempt to add extra interfaces or knobs to tweak the threshold.
