puffs - don't lock dvp on nresolve
* locking dvp on nresolve causes a deadlock with the puffsop thread
when the dvp is the root vnode.
* If a lookup/nresolve occurs at the same time as a flush via the
puffsop, then puffsop will not be able to acquire a lock on the root
vnode as the lookup routine already holds it. Similarly the lookup
routine never gets woken up waiting for the message to arrive, since
puffsop is stuck and can't reply.
