 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	chs

 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/kern: vfs_lookup.c
 
 Log Message:
 fix two more problems in the recent changes to lookup():
  - don't hold the parent directory vnode locked while traversing mount points.
    the fs that's mounted might be an NFS served by a userland process
    like the automounter, which might need to traverse the parent directory
    in order to complete the lookup.
  - in the ENAMETOOLONG case fixed in rev. 1.75, set ni_dvp to dp
    since we've logically moved on to using "dp" as the parent.
    the caller will then handle vput()ing it as normal.
    this fixes PR 35279.
