    devfs - Clean up some SMP inefficiencies
    
    * We don't need the devfs master lock around a setattr call.  This
      fixes the open(O_CREAT|O_TRUNC) path for redirects to e.g. /dev/null,
      which is used all over the place in ports builds.
    
    * The devfs spec open (open() again) path can obtain the devfs master
      lock shared instead of exclusive, except in the cloning case.
      This significantly reduces stalls during heavily concurrent bulk
      builds.
