    kernel -- ffs: Soft updates locking fixes
    
    1) Do not take mplock in bioops callbacks; the lock was no longer synchronizing
       against mainline code.
    
    2) Do not hold softdep lock around bwillinode()
    
    3) Take softdep lock in softdep_process_worklist bioops callback. This callback
       was previously using the mplock for synchronization (insufficiently!)
    
    4) Modify process_worklist_item to expect the softdep lock to be held on
       entry and release it at appropriate times.
    
    Prevents a panic seen when running fsstress on a UFS+softdep fs, where fsync
    finds a null buffer on vnode trees. This arose from a front-end/back-end
    race in softdep_process_worklist.
