Summary

Bump the vnode use count, not just its hold count. This fixes a panic
triggered by fstatat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) on DRM device nodes, which happens
to be what glxinfo(1) from Ubuntu Jammy is doing.

This follows a somewhat similar fix in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29323?id=86801. I can't say I have a proper understanding of what's going on here though.

Here's the test case from Alex S:

#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main() {
  int fd = open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR);
  assert(fd != -1);

  struct stat st;
  fstatat(fd, "", &st, AT_EMPTY_PATH);

  return 0;
}

This cannot be right.

If the file references vnode, vnode must be active and have the use count at least 1, because file vref-ed the vnode on open.

Good point. Okay, so here's another attempt; this time in code specific to linuxkpi.

If going that way, then you can remove the adjacent vhold() and vdrop() as they are redundant.

It should be fine modulo the note about vhold() no longer needed.

Get rid of vhold/vdrop. I've been running it for a few days
and it appears to work fine.
