panic: unmount: dangling vnode

:I had a ntfs read-only mount and copied a few files off of it. After that I
:tried unmounting it, which resulted in the panic mentioned in the subject. The
:core is available at leaf:~rumko/crash/vnode/*.6 and the kernel was from about
:31st Jan.

    Ok, try this patch.  It looks like NTFS accesses auxillary vnodes
    while flushing other vnodes, so a single vflush scan won't catch them
    all.  I don't even know if multiple vflushes will catch them all
    but lets try it and find out.
