kernel - namecache eviction fixes
* Fix several namecache eviction issues which interfere with nlookup*()
functions.
There is an optimization where nlookup*() avoids locking intermediate
ncp's in a path whenever possible on the assumption that the ref on
the ncp will prevent eviction. This assumption fails when the machine
is under a heavy namecache load.
Errors included spurious ENOTCONN and EINVAL error codes from file
operations.
* Refactor the namecache code to not evict resolved namecache entries
which have extra refs under normal operation. This allows nlookup*()
and other functions to operate semi-lockless for intermediate elements
in a path. However, they still obtain a ref which is a cache-unfriendly
atomic operation.
This fixes numerous weird errors that occur during heavy dsynth bulk
builds.
* Also fix a bug which evicted too many resolved namecache entries when
attempting to evict unresolved entries. This should improve performance
under heavy namecache loads a bit.
