VOP_WRITE without vnode lock

[Juergen Hannken-Illjes <hannken%eis.cs.tu-bs.de@localhost>]

Is it safe (regarding data consistency) to VOP_WRITE() to a vnode
without holding the vnode lock when:

- The write is always a full size block. 
- A block gets only written once and writes are serialized.
- No others are allowed to write the vnode. 
- Data written is always the same that would have been read before.

or is there a window between GOP_ALLOC() and ubc_iomove() where we could
read allocated but not yet initialized data.
