- Add FS_GJOURNAL flag which enables gjournal support on a file system.
- Add cg_unrefs field to the cylinder group structure which holds
number of unreferenced (orphaned) inodes in the given cylinder group.
- Add fs_unrefs field to the super block structure which holds
total number of unreferenced (orphaned) inodes.
- When file or a directory is orphaned (last reference is removed, but
object is still open), increase fs_unrefs and cg_unrefs fields,
which is a hint for fsck in which cylinder groups looks for such
(orphaned) objects.
- When file is last closed, decrease {fs,cg}_unrefs fields.
- Add VV_DELETED vnode flag which points at orphaned objects.

all vnodes could be already in use and other processes cannot release them,
because they are waiting in "suspfs" state.
In such situation, we allow to allocate a vnode anyway.
This is a temporary fix - there is no backpressure to free vnodes allocated in
those circumstances.

If B_NOCACHE is set the pages of vm backed buffers will be invalidated.
However clean buffers can be backed by dirty VM pages so invalidating them
can lead to data loss.
Add support for flush dirty page in the data invalidation function
of some network file systems.
This fixes data losses during vnode recycling (and other code paths
using invalbuf(*,V_SAVE,*,*)) for data written using an mmaped file.

- Acquire a mnt ref for every vnode allocated to a mount point. Drop this
ref only once vdestroy() has been called and the mount has been freed.
- No longer NULL the v_mount pointer in delmntque() so that we may release
the ref after vgone() has been called. This allows us to guarantee
that the mount point structure will be valid until the last vnode has
lost its last ref.

Add a new private thread flag to indicate that the thread should
not sleep if runningbufspace is too large.
Set this flag on the bufdaemon and syncer threads so that they skip
the waitrunningbufspace() call in bufwrite() rather than than
checking the proc pointer vs. the known proc pointers for these two
threads. A way of preventing these threads from being starved for
I/O but still placing limits on their outstanding I/O would be
desirable.
Set this flag in ffs_copyonwrite() to prevent bufwrite() calls from
blocking on the runningbufspace check while holding snaplk. This
prevents snaplk from being held for an arbitrarily long period of
time if runningbufspace is high and greatly reduces the contention
for snaplk. The disadvantage is that ffs_copyonwrite() can start
a large amount of I/O if there are a large number of snapshots,
which could cause a deadlock in other parts of the code.
Call runningbufwakeup() in ffs_copyonwrite() to decrement runningbufspace
before attempting to grab snaplk so that I/O requests waiting on
snaplk are not counted in runningbufspace as being in-progress.
Increment runningbufspace again before actually launching the
original I/O request.
Prior to the above two changes, the system could deadlock if enough
I/O requests were blocked by snaplk to prevent runningbufspace from
falling below lorunningspace and one of the bawrite() calls in
ffs_copyonwrite() blocked in waitrunningbufspace() while holding
snaplk.
