    hammer2 - Stabilization
    
    Yet more stabilization.  Generally speaking the code is starting to look
    pretty good, but finding the corner cases for the in-memory chain state
    has taken more time than I had hoped.  All of this complexity exists solely
    in order to allow flushes to run concurrently with modifying operations by
    the front-end (which is a pretty significant performance feature).
    
    * Fix a bug in the hammer2_chain_get() race detection code.
    
    * Refactor hammer2_freemap_alloc() a bit.
    
    * Save debug info in dead block array fields (temporary), and add some
      debugging field to the chain structure.
    
    * Refactor the flush code that checks whether a deleted chain should be
      ignored or not, fixing a bug at the same time.
    
    * Refactor the transaction sequencing.  Flushes now allocate an extra
      transaction id so a distinction can be made between chains whos block
      arrays have not been updated and chains whos block arrays have been
      updated.
    
    * Refactor the MOVED flag removal algorithm a little, fixing a bug or two.
    
    * Adjust the freemap to detect forked chains and ensure that a different
      reserved block is calculated for the two possible forks.
    
    * Fix a few mount fail cases that were panicing.
    
    * Update bref.mirror_tid in scan1 skip cases.
    
    * Do not update bref.mirror_tid in the skip case as this can confuse
      how a child's block array is interpreted in a future flush.
    
    * Augment chain code with maxloops counters for debugging infinite
      loops.
    
    * Remove the CHAIN_DUPLICATED tests in hammer2_chain_find() as this can
      catch a delete-duplicate in-progress and incorrectly cause the search
      to fail.
    
    * Remove looping on CHAIN_DUPLICATED detection.  Instead what we do now
      is lock the chain before testing the CHAIN_DELETED bit.  Locking the
      chain will resolve delete-duplicate races and place the chain in a
      deterministic state.  The CHAIN_DELETED test is then sufficient.
