    kernel - namecache - fix deadlock
    
    * cache_drop() can be called in numerous situations where unrelated
      vnode or namecache locks are held, particularly in the
      allocfreevnode() path when it calls cache_inval_vp_nonblock().
    
    * If cache_drop() is transitioning a nc_refs from 1 to 0 it will call
      cache_zap() to free the (now untracked) ncp.  Adjust cache_zap() to
      leave the namecache entry alone if a lock on ncp->nc_parent
      cannot be acquired, instead of blocking (and potentially deadlocking).
    
    * Add _cache_cleandefered() (part of cache_hysteresis()) to handle
      any buildup.  It is expensive but the race occurs at a low rate
      under moderate load so it should hardly ever have to be run.
