Summary

It was possible that termination of ktrace session occured during some record write, in which case write occured after the close of the vnode. Use ktr_io_params refcounting to avoid this situation, by taking the reference on the structure instead of vnode.

So we disable tracing if the file is closed and re-opened, i.e., ABA-like race. I think that is ok.

Yes it is same as before ktr_io_params introduction, and I decided to keep it that way from that time.
