Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it. This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.
Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp. vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns. These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

- Set UN_ULOCK in union_lock() when UN_KLOCK is set. Caller expects
that vnode is locked correctly, and may call another function which
expects locked vnode and may unlock the vnode.
- Do not assume the behavior of inside functions in FreeBSD's
vfs_suber.c is same as 4.4BSD-Lite2. Vnode may be locked in
vget() even though flag is zero. (Locked vnode is, of course,
unlocked before returning from vget.)
plus the previous changes to use the zone allocator decrease the useage
of malloc by half. The Zone allocator will be upgradeable to be able
to use per CPU-pools, and has more intelligent usage of SPLs. Additionally,
it has reasonable stats gathering capabilities, while making most calls
inline.
is NULLVP, union node will have neither uppervp nor lowervp. This
causes page fault trap.
The union_removed_upper just remove union node from cache and it
doesn't set uppervp to NULLVP. Since union node is removed from
cache, it will not be referenced.
The code that remove union node from cache was copied from
union_inactive.
relookup() in union_relookup() is succeeded. However, if relookup()
returns non-zero value, that is relookup fails, VOP_MKDIR is never
called (c.f. union_mkshadow). Thus, pathname buffer is never FREEed.

changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.
The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
