    kernel - namecache MPSAFE work
    
    * Most of the MPSAFE coding required for namecache operation.  The MP
      lock still surrounds this code.
    
    * Use a per-bucket spinlock for nchashtbl[] lookups.
    
    * Use a global spinlock for ncneglist.
    
    * Use a global token for nc_parent interlocks.
    
    * Use a per-vnode spinlock (v_spinlock == v_lock.lk_spinlock) to
      manage access to the v_namecache list.
    
    * Recode namecache locks to use atomic_cmpset_ptr() based around
      nc_locktd instead of nc_exlocks.  nc_exlocks is still used to
      track the exclusive lock count.
    
      NOTE: There may be an issue with the way nc_lockreq is handled.
    
    * Recode cache_hold/drop to use atomic_cmpset_int().
    
    * Carefully code cache_zap() for MPSAFEness.  In particular, multiple
      locks must be held before it can be determined that a namecache
      structure no longer has any referers.  Here is where having the global
      token is really useful.
    
    * cache_fullpath() and vn_fullpath() previously assumed the good graces
      of the MP lock and didn't bother holding refs on the namecache pointers
      they were traversing.  Now they do.
    
    * nlookup*() functions also previously made assumptions with regards
      to holding refs.  Now they properly hold refs.
    
    * struct namecache's nc_flag field is no longer modified outside of
      holding a lock on the structure, so we do not have to resort to
      atomic ops.
