kernel - Fix not-quite-nonblocking VX lock in allocfreevnode()
* Introduce LK_NOSPINWAIT to tell lockmgr() to not even spin on the
spinlock if it can't get it immediately.
* There is a lock order reversal between vfs_spin and vp->v_spinlock
where vx_lock_nonblock() can deadlock in allocfreevnode(). Normally
I'd vhold() the vnode but the freelist code is rather fragile and I
don't want to have to vdrop() later on. So instead use LK_NOSPINWAIT
to avoid the situation.
* This is a hack.
