VOP_LINK(). The reason of strange behavior was wrong order of the
argument, that is, the operation
# ln foo bar
in a union fs tried to do
# ln bar foo
in ufs layer.
Now we can make a link in a union fs.
fix!
The ufs_link() assumes that vnode is not unlocked and tries to lock it
in certain case. Because union_link calls VOP_LINK after locking vnode,
vn_lock in ufs_link causes above panic.
Currently, I don't know the real fix for a locking violation in
union_link, but I think it is important to avoid panic.
A vnode is unlocked before calling VOP_LINK and is locked after it if
the vnode is not union fs. Even though panic went away, the process
that access the union fs in which link was made will hang-up.
Hang-up can be easily reproduced by following operation:
mount -t union a b
cd b
ln foo bar
ls
dolock is not set (that is, targetvp == overlaying vnode object).
Current code use FIXUP macro to do this, and never unlocks overlaying
vnode object in union_fsync. So, the vnode object will be locked
twice and never unlocked.

Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent

This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.

Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.
