head_errlog: fix use-after-free

In the commit of the head_errlog feature we introduced a bug in dsl_dataset_promote_sync(): we may dereference origin_head and hds, both dereferencing ddpa after calling promote_sync() on ddpa. Closes: openzfs#16272 Signed-off-by: George Amanakis <[email protected]>
