Summary

This fixes some of the LORs of this form:

lock order reversal: 
 1st 0xfffff80002c50930 ufs (ufs, lockmgr) @ /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c:2052

There is still ordering established at unmount which is going to be taken care of with a different patch. The unmount one results in LORs if filesystems get interleaved, for example tmpfs -> ufs -> tmpfs

kib added reviewers: mckusick, chs.

Chuck has a patch to handle unmount, by some lock reordering.

sys/kern/vfs_mount.c
1205

I would move the setting of VIRF_MOUNTPOINT before potential unlock of vp inside vn_lock_pair(), just in case.

I concur with kib's suggestion. Otherwise looks like a good use of vn_lock_pair().
