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.
