closing a window where a file system using softupdates could be async
for a short while if both MNT_UPDATE and MNT_ASYNC were passed as flags
to nmount(). Add MNTK_SOFTDEP flag to ensure that softdep_mount()
doesn't increase mnt_noasync multiple times.
switch by worklist type contains two for() loops, for D_INDIRDEP and
D_PAGEDEP. On error, these loops are exited by break, where the switch
actually shall be leaved. Use goto instead of break to reach the error
handling code.

assuming them to be inflight write buffers. This is not always the case.
bufdaemon might hold the buffer lock and give up writing the buffer due to it
having dependencies, the file system being suspended or the vnode lock being
held by another thread. When bufdaemon decides to write the buffer there is
still a window before bufobj_wref() has been called, allowing other threads to
believe that the vnode has no dirty buffers or inflight writes.

Fix detection of active unlinked files by checking VI_OWEINACT and

Defer inactive handling for unlinked files if the file system is mostly
suspended (secondary writes being blocked).
Perform deferred inactive handling after the file system is resumed.

- Add the softdep worklist and various counters to the ufsmnt structure.
- Add a mount pointer to the workitem and remove mount pointers from the
various structures derived from the workitem as they are now redundant.
- Remove the poor-man's semaphore protecting softdep_process_worklist and
softdep_flushworklist. Several threads may now process the list
simultaneously.
- Add softdep_waitidle() to block the thread until all pending
dependencies being operated on by other threads have been flushed.
- Use softdep_waitidle() in unmount and snapshots to block either
operation until the fs is stable.
- Remove softdep worklist processing from the syncer and move it into the
softdep_flush() thread. This thread processes all softdep mounts
once each second and when it is called via the new softdep_speedup()
when there is a resource shortage. This removes the softdep hook
from the kernel and various hacks in header files to support it.

need snapshot support (like when running off a ram disk, or in an
embedded environment where size matters).
