    kernel - Make sure nl_dvp is non-NULL in a few situations
    
    * When NLC_REFDVP is set, nl_dvp should be returned non-NULL
      when the nlookup succeeds.
    
      However, there is one case where nlookup() can succeed but nl_dvp
      can be NULL, and this is when the nlookup() represents a
      mount-point.
    
    * Fix three instances where this case was not being checked and
      could lead to a NULL pointer dereference / kernel panic.
    
    * Do the full resolve treatment for cache_resolve_dvp().  In
      null-mount situations where we have A/B and we null-mount B onto C,
      path resolutions of C via the null mount will resolve B but
      not resolve A.
    
      This breaks an assumption that nlookup() and cache_dvpref()
      make about the parent ncp having a valid vnode.  In fact, the
      parent ncp of B (which is A) might not, because the resolve
      path for B may have bypassed it due to the presence of the null
      mount.
    
    * Should fix occassional 'mkdir /var/cache' calls that fail with
      EINVAL instead of EEXIST.
