    kernel - Fix improper assertion panic in vinvalbuf()
    
    * Related to the removal of vhold/vdrop from buffer cache buffers, the
      state of a vnode being cleaned can now contain more active buffers and
      I/O's at the time of the vinvalbuf() call.
    
    * Remove the 'vinvalbuf: dirty bufs' assertion and panic.  It is no longer
      a correct assertion.  Note that we've also had sporatic reports of this
      panic even prior to the work so it might not have been a completely
      correct assertion before either.
    
    * Rework the vinvalbuf buffer-flushing and I/O-waiting code a bit.  We
      have to wait for I/O at least once and it is probably a good idea to
      wait for I/O after each buffer flush pass too, to avoid live-locks.
