You're quite clear about the end state you're looking for, but not about
why you might want to do this...
You could conceivably put another full copy of the data into the pool by
using zfs send piped to zfs receive instead of zfs clone.
You might also want to take a look at "zfs promote", which allows the
clone to take over primary ownership of the snapshot (and changing the
snapshot's parent to be a clone).
