vfs_mountedon() can only and only handle special device nodes and will 
otherwise generate an UVM trap or will access random memory. This is due to 
the dereference of vp->v_specmountpoint that is really 
vp->v_specinfo->si_mountpoint. The field v_specinfo is multiplexed with 
other structs in the vun union in struct vnode like struct socket.

The patch adds a sanity check for accessing the specinfo fields by only 
allowing VBLK nodes to be passed. In theory also VCHR could be valid since 
its also a special node though mounting is only done on VBLK so be strict.

Ok'd by yamt.
