Attilio Rao 83b3bdbc8a Improve VFS locking:
- Implement real draining for vfs consumers by not relying on the
  mnt_lock and using instead a refcount in order to keep track of lock
  requesters.
- Due to the change above, remove the mnt_lock lockmgr because it is now
  useless.
- Due to the change above, vfs_busy() is no more linked to a lockmgr.
  Change so its KPI by removing the interlock argument and defining 2 new
  flags for it: MBF_NOWAIT which basically replaces the LK_NOWAIT of the
  old version (which was unlinked from the lockmgr alredy) and
  MBF_MNTLSTLOCK which provides the ability to drop the mountlist_mtx
  once the mnt interlock is held (ability still desired by most consumers).
- The stub used into vfs_mount_destroy(), that allows to override the
  mnt_ref if running for more than 3 seconds, make it totally useless.
  Remove it as it was thought to work into older versions.
  If a problem of "refcount held never going away" should appear, we will
  need to fix properly instead than trust on such hackish solution.
- Fix a bug where returning (with an error) from dounmount() was still
  leaving the MNTK_MWAIT flag on even if it the waiters were actually
  woken up. Just a place in vfs_mount_destroy() is left because it is
  going to recycle the structure in any case, so it doesn't matter.
- Remove the markercnt refcount as it is useless.

This patch modifies VFS ABI and breaks KPI for vfs_busy() so manpages and
__FreeBSD_version will be modified accordingly.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
