    kernel - Fix bugs and refactor namecache cleaning code
    
    * Refactor the cleaning code.  For positive namecache entries,
      track based on NCHHASH linkages rather than v_namecache linkages.
      Also maintain a count of freeable (leaf) entries and use that
      in the _cache_cleanpos() code.
    
      This should hopefully fix a bug where the system can get stuck
      constantly calling _cache_cleanpos() in situations where there
      are not any freeable entries.
    
    * Refactor the negative namecache tracking code.  Move to a per-cpu
      structure where entries are made based on the current cpu and removed
      based on the recorded cpu.  Refactor the cleaning code to iterate
      the cpu list on a per-call basis which should hopefully allow multiple
      cpus to clean the ncneg lists concurrently.
    
      This reduces a SMP bottleneck, but does not deal with cache
      ping-ponging issues on related structures.
