 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/miscfs/genfs: genfs_node.h genfs_vnops.c
 	src/sys/uvm: uvm_fault.c uvm_object.h
 
 Log Message:
 ensure that vnodes with dirty pages are always on syncer's queue.
 
 - genfs_putpages: wait for i/o completion of PG_RELEASED/PG_PAGEOUT pages by
   setting "wasclean" false when encountering them.
   suggested by Stephan Uphoff in PR/24596 (1).
 
 - genfs_putpages: write protect pages when cleaning out, if
   we're going to take the vnode off the syncer's queue.
   uvm_fault: don't write-map pages unless its vnode is already on
   the syncer's queue.
 
   fix PR/24596 (3) but in the different way from the suggested fix.
   (to keep our current behaviour, ie. not to require explicit msync.
   discussed on tech-kern@.)
 
 - genfs_putpages: don't mistakenly take a vnode off the queue
   by introducing a generation number in genfs_node.
   genfs_getpages: increment the generation number.
   suggested by Stephan Uphoff in PR/24596 (2).
 
 - add some assertions.
