    puffs - don't lock dvp on nresolve
    
     * locking dvp on nresolve causes a deadlock with the puffsop thread
       when the dvp is the root vnode.
    
     * If a lookup/nresolve occurs at the same time as a flush via the
       puffsop, then puffsop will not be able to acquire a lock on the root
       vnode as the lookup routine already holds it. Similarly the lookup
       routine never gets woken up waiting for the message to arrive, since
       puffsop is stuck and can't reply.
