Log Message:
Pull up revision 1.127 (requested by perseant in ticket #74):
Make LFS dirops get their vnode first, before incrementing the dirop
count, to prevent a deadlock trying to call VOP_PUTPAGES() on a VDIROP
vnode. This can happen when a stacked filesystem is mounted on top of an
LFS: an LFS dirop needs to get a vnode, which is available from the upper
layer. The corresponding lower layer vnode, however, is VDIROP, so the
upper layer can't be cleaned out since its VOP_PUTPAGES() is passed
through to the lower layer, which waits for dirops to drain before it can
proceed.  Deadlock.
Tweak ufs_makeinode() and ufs_mkdir() to pass the a_vpp argument through
to VOP_VALLOC().
Partially addresses PR # 26043, though it probably does not completely fix
the problem described there.
