Bruce Evans 3055187290 Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late
as possible (when the inode is reclaimed).  Temporarily only do
this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't enabled.
UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of /sys/conf/options.

This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered
machines.  It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when the
inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or something
wrote to the screen or /dev/null.
