 Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern: vfs_subr.c
 
 Log Message:
 Previous did cause a deadlock with layered FS: the vrele thread
 can sleep on the vnode lock, while vget is sleeping on the
 VI_INACTNOW flag (or the vget caller is looping on vget returning failure
 because of the VI_INACTNOW flag). With layered FSes, the upper and lower
 vnodes share the same lock, so the vget() caller above can be already
 holding the vnode lock.
 
 Fix by dropping VI_INACTNOW before sleeping on the vnode lock in
 vrelel(), and check the ref count again once we have the lock. If the
 vnode has more than one reference, donc VOP_INACTIVE it.
 Fix PR kern/42318 and PR kern/42377
 patch tested by Hisashi T Fujinaka, Joachim König, Stephen Borrill and
 Matthias Scheler.
