rS355122: Use atomics in more cases for object references. We now can completely
Summary

This patch moves to only requiring the object lock on the last ref (or second to last for anonymous objects) as well as the first ref of a vnode object.

The object lock wouldn't be required for the first vnode ref except to serialize with vnode_pager_dealloc() which could race and drop a vref that is not yet acquired. I'm not sure if this is even possible anymore and if it is not vm_object_reference() could be simplified.

Fix a race between unlocked reference and collapse.

This now passes various stress tests and I believe it is suitable to go in. The reduction in locking of the vnode object is substantial.
