that vnodes with dirty pages are active. This is enforced by
vinactive() doing vm_object_page_clean() pass over the vnode pages.
The issue is, if vinactive() cannot be called during vput() due to the
vnode being only shared-locked, we might end up with the dirty pages
for the vnode on the free list. Such vnode is invisible to syncer,
and pages are only cleaned on the vnode reactivation. In other words,
the race results in the broken guarantee that user data, written
through the mmap(2), is written to the disk not later than in 30
seconds after the write.
Fix this by keeping the vnode which is freed but still owing
