    kernel - Micro optimization for vnode exclusive lock
    
    * Micro-optimize open(... O_RDWR) by allowing a shared vnode lock for
      this case when opening a file which is not an executable.
    
      We used to unconditionally get an exclusive lock to deal with VTEXT vs
      O_RDWR races against executables, but this can cause unnecessary SMP
      contention on normal files and devices opened O_RDWR which are not
      executables.
