 PR kern/40525 panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc
 - A fix for an issue that can lead to "ffs_valloc: dup" due to dirty cg
   buffers being invalidated. Problem discovered and patch by dholland@.
 - If the syncer fails to lazily sync a vnode due to lock contention,
   retry 1 second later instead of 30 seconds later.
 - Flush inode atime updates every ~10 seconds (this makes most sense with
   logging). Presently they didn't hit the disk for read-only files or
   devices until the file system was unmounted. It would be better to trickle
   the updates out but that would require more extensive changes.
 - Fix issues with file system corruption, busy looping and other nasty
   problems when logging and non-logging file systems are intermixed,
   with one being the root file system.
 - For logging, do not flush metadata on an inode-at-a-time basis if the sync
   has been requested by ioflush. Previously, we could try hundreds of log
   sync operations a second due to inode update activity, causing the syncer
   to fall behind and metadata updates to be serialized across the entire
   file system. Instead, burst out metadata and log flushes at a minimum
   interval of every 10 seconds on an active file system (happens more often
   if the log becomes full). Note this does not change the operation of
   fsync() etc.
 - With the flush issue fixed, re-enable concurrent metadata updates in
   vfs_wapbl.c.
