Merge the remaining changes from the ad-namecache branch, affecting namei()
and getcwd():

- push vnode locking back as far as possible.
- do most lookups directly in the namecache, avoiding vnode locks & refs.
- don't block new refs to vnodes across VOP_INACTIVE().
- get shared locks for VOP_LOOKUP() if the file system supports it.
- correct lock types for VOP_ACCESS() / VOP_GETATTR() in a few places.

Possible future enhancements:

- make the lookups lockless.
- support dotdot lookups by being lockless and inferring absence of chroot.
- maybe make it work for layered file systems.
- avoid vnode references at the root & cwd.

Use buffer cache, not page cache, to expand directories in ext2fs.

Candidate fix for PR kern/50607, PR port-evbmips/50059.

Formerly VOP_WRITE-->ext2fs_write would automatically dispatch to
this code path for writes to directories, but I broke that in
ext2fs_lookup.c rev. 1.78 when disentangling page-cached and
buffer-cached writes.

This was not a problem in ufs, and I didn't notice it in ext2fs,
because ufs consistently used buffercache(9) directly instead of
using VOP_WRITE sometimes as ext2fs did.

Disentangle buffer-cached I/O from page-cached I/O in UFS.

Page-cached I/O is used for regular files, and is initiated by VFS
users such as userland and NFS.

Buffer-cached I/O is used for directories and symlinks, and is issued
only internally by UFS.

New UFS routine ufs_bufio replaces vn_rdwr for internal use.
ufs_bufio is implemented by new UFS operations uo_bufrd/uo_bufwr,
which sit in ufs_readwrite.c alongside the VOP_READ/VOP_WRITE
implementations.

I preserved the code as much as possible and will leave further
simplification for future commits. I kept the ulfs_readwrite.c
copypasta close to ufs_readwrite.c in case we ever want to merge them
back; likewise ext2fs_readwrite.c.

No externally visible semantic change. All atf fs tests still pass.

Add a global vnode cache:

- vcache_get() retrieves a referenced and initialised vnode / fs node pair.
- vcache_remove() removes a vnode / fs node pair from the cache.

On cache miss vcache_get() calls new vfs operation vfs_loadvnode() to
initialise a vnode / fs node pair. This call is guaranteed exclusive,
no other thread will try to load this vnode / fs node pair.

Convert ufs/ext2fs, ufs/ffs and ufs/mfs to use this interface.

ROOTINO -> UFS_ROOTINO
WINO -> UFS_WINO
NXADDR -> UFS_NXADDR
NDADDR -> UFS_NDADDR
NIADDR -> UFS_NIADDR
MAXSYMLINKLEN -> UFS_MAXSYMLINKLEN
MAXSYMLINKLEN_UFS[12] -> UFS[12]_MAXSYMLINKLEN (for consistency)

Sort out ext2fs's misuse of NDADDR and NIADDR; fortunately, these have
the same values in ext2fs and ffs.

No functional change intended.

Excise struct componentname from the namecache.

This uglifies the interface, because several operations need to be
passed the namei flags and cache_lookup also needs for the time being
to be passed cnp->cn_nameiop. Nonetheless, it's a net benefit.

The glop should be able to go away eventually but requires structural
cleanup elsewhere first.

This change requires a kernel bump.

Disentangle the namecache from the internals of namei.

- Move the namecache's hash computation to inside the namecache code,
instead of being spread out all over the place. Remove cn_hash from
struct componentname and delete all uses of it.

- It is no longer necessary (if it ever was) for cache_lookup and
cache_lookup_raw to clear MAKEENTRY from cnp->cn_flags for the cases
that cache_enter already checks for.

- Rearrange the interface of cache_lookup (and cache_lookup_raw) to
make it somewhat simpler, to exclude certain nonexistent error
conditions, and (most importantly) to make it not require write access
to cnp->cn_flags.

This change requires a kernel bump.
