    kernel - Fix deadlock assertion panic with mmap/read combos
    
    * Normally the uiomove() is called with the buffer locked.  When
      uiomove()ing into mmap'd memory this can cause a lock recursion and
      panic, or a deadlock.
    
    * Fix the problem by adding bqhold() and bqdrop() and adjusting the use
      of the b_refs field to prevent the buffer from being invalidated,
      allowing VFS VOP_READ operations to release the buffer prior to the
      uiomove() into user memory.
    
    * Adjust brelse() and getnewbuf() to do the right thing.  Note that there
      are two cases where b_refs can transition from 0->1.  The VFS
      release/uiomove case will only transition b_refs while the buffer is
      locked while findblk() will transition b_refs at any time (while holding
      the spin lock).  We only care about retaining the VM pages in the
      transition-during-locked case.
    
    * Original problem reproducable with
    
      grep -r --mmap SomeString /usr/pkgsrc
