    kernel - Fix NFS server deadlock
    
    * _cache_cleanneg() was calling cache_zap() with the non-blocking argument
      set to FALSE, causing numerous out-of-order locking situations which
      could march up the topology and cause a deadlock.
    
      Fixed by calling cache_zap() with the non-blocking argument set to TRUE.
    
    * This was particularly obvious when running a buildworld with a loopback
      NFS mount for /usr/obj, which generates lots of negative cache activity,
      but theoretically could cause deadlocks even without using NFS.
