    kernel - Fix spinlock held on switch
    
    * flushbufqueues() was holding bufqspin through a buffer cache callback,
      causing a kernel panic if the callback winds up blocking.  This only
      effected UFS not HAMMER).
    
    * Release the spinlock a little earlier so it isn't held around the callback.
    
    * Make a minor semantics change to bio_track_wait() to deal with potential
      compiler optimizations messing up the cmpxchg loop.
