    kernel - Fix lock order reversal in cache_resolve_mp()
    
    * This function is a helper when path lookups cross mount
      boundaries.
    
    * Locking order between namecache records and vnodes must
      be { ncp, vnode }.
    
    * Fix a lock order reversal in cache_resolve_mp() which
      was doing { vnode, ncp }.  This deadlock is very rare
      because mount points are almost never evicted from the
      namecache.  However, dsynth can trigger this bug due
      to its heavy use of null mounts and high concurrent path
      lookup loads.
