Summary

VOP_LOOKUP.9: update locking info

Test Plan

This change was originally submitted to our private repo by Will, with a
comment that it originally came from kib. I don't know anything else about it.
If you two still think it's correct, I'll commit it.

Event Timeline

Yes, the new statement is correct but perhaps is somewhat vague.

You may look at the kern/vnode_if.src to see that we do assert that dvp is locked on VOP_LOOKUP() entry and is kept locked on both successful and erroneous returns. But depending on the arguments, we might upgrade/downgrade the lock as needed.
