    hammer2 - Flush sequencing
    
    * Add a flag HAMMER2_CHAIN_DIRTYBP to differentiate between clean and
      dirty buffers, separate from HAMMER2_CHAIN_MODIFIED1.  We needed a
      new flag because a buffer can be dirtied and then written out by the
      OS (becoming clean) before the chain hierarchy itself is flushed.
    
      This fixes an issue where a small percentage of buffers were being
      written out several times without any new changes.
    
    * Clean up HAMMER2_CHAIN_IOFLUSH and implement to reduce double buffering
      overheads, at least for the buffer cache.  The VM backing store might
      still have double-buffered data.
    
      This reduces the load on the buffer management code in the kernel and
      helps avoid potential deadlocks.
    
    * Unlock the inode when stalling in bwillwrite().  This solves a problem
      where a program stuck in flstik can also stall out the buffer daemons.
