the write start, by adding a variation of the vfs_write_resume(9)
which accepts flags.
Use the new function to prevent a deadlock between parallel suspension
and snapshotting a UFS mount. The ffs_snapshot() code performed
vfs_write_resume() followed by vn_start_write() while owning the
snaplock. If the suspension intervene between resume and
vn_start_write(), the deadlock occured after the suspending thread
tried to lock the snaplock, most typically during the write in the
ffs_copyonwrite().
