mckusick 06b0191176 When using the force option to shut down a memory-disk device,
I/O operations already in its queue were not being properly drained.
The GEOM framework does the queue draining, but the device driver
needs to wait for the draining to happen. The waiting is done by
adding a g_md_providergone() function to wait for the I/O operations
to finish up.

It is likely that every GEOM provider that implements orphaning
attached GEOM consumers needs to use the "providergone" mechanism
for this same reason, but some of them do not do so. Apparently
Kenneth Merry (ken@) added the drain for just such races, but he
missed adding it to some of the device drivers that needed it.
