    kernel - Fix shared/excl livelock with vm.shared_fault
    
    * The vop_helper_read_shortcut() code was holding a shared token on
      a VM object through a uiomove().  If the uiomove() generated a VM
      fault requiring a shadow copy, the shadow copy would try to get
      an exclusive token on potentially the same object and livelock.
    
    * Fix by unlocking/relocking across the uiomove().
