    kernel - Refactor cache_vref() using counter trick
    
    * Refactor cache_vref() such that it is able to validate that a vnode
      (whos ref count might be 0) is not in VRECLAIM, without acquiring the
      vnode lock.  This is the normal case.
    
      If cache_vref() is unable to do this, it backs down to the old method
      which was to get a vnode lock, validate that the vnode is not in
      VRECLAIM, then release the lock.
    
    * NOTE: In DragonFlyBSD, holding a vref on a vnode (vref, NOT vhold) will
      prevent the vnode from transitioning to VRECLAIM.
    
    * Use the new feature for nlookup's naccess() tests and for the *stat*()
      series of system calls.
    
      This significantly increases performance.  However, we are not entirely
      cache-contention free as both the namecache entry and the vnode are still
      referenced, requiring atomic adds.
