    kernel - Attempt to fix high vnlru cpu use
    
    * In certain situations _cache_cleanpos() gets into a livelock
      of some sort.  It is limited by a counter but the livelock creates
      havoc when it happens.
    
    * It appears that _cache_cleanpos() can get into a situation where
      the head element of all available nchashtbl[] slots is not freeable
      (e.g. due to having multiple refs).  When this occurs, trailing
      elements in the chained hash table cannot be recycled.
    
      nchashtbl[] is typically very large, so this situation does not
      happen very often.  There are usually plenty of entries to pick
      away at.  However, it looks like situations can develop where
      enough entries get into this masked state that the hysteresis is
      unable to complete, resulting in a cpubound loop.
    
    * Refactor the chained list from LIST to TAILQ and modify the
      _cache_cleanpos() function to cycle ncp's to the end of the
      list before trying to zap them.  If the zap fails, the next
      iteration will encounter a different head.
