    kernel - Fix not-quite-nonblocking VX lock in allocfreevnode()
    
    * Introduce LK_NOSPINWAIT to tell lockmgr() to not even spin on the
      spinlock if it can't get it immediately.
    
    * There is a lock order reversal between vfs_spin and vp->v_spinlock
      where vx_lock_nonblock() can deadlock in allocfreevnode().  Normally
      I'd vhold() the vnode but the freelist code is rather fragile and I
      don't want to have to vdrop() later on.  So instead use LK_NOSPINWAIT
      to avoid the situation.
    
    * This is a hack.
