One snapshot for each nested zfs filesystem.

The other thing about doing it this way is that all the snapshots
are taken at exactly the same point in time, not one after another.
So if you have one app using more than one of the filesystems, then
you won't get inconsistances between the snapshots of the separate
filesystems due to timing differences as there are none.
