Slow while setting ACL on RAIDDZ2 40Tb HDD dataset

This could probably be relaxed to allow multiple ones on different datasets. If you’re recursing through millions of files it will potentially take a significant amount of time to complete since we have to write an ACL on every file and you’re probably iops constrained.
