Log Message:
Add a mutex for operations that touch size (setattr, getattr, write, fsync).

This is required to avoid data corruption bugs, where a getattr slices
itself within a setattr operation, and sets the size to the stall value
it got from the filesystem. That value is smaller than the one set by
setattr, and the call to uvm_vnp_setsize() trigged a spurious truncate.
The result is a chunk of zeroed data in the file.

Such a situation can easily happen when the ioflush thread issue a
VOP_FSYNC/puffs_vnop_sync/flushvncache/dosetattrn while andother process
do a sys_stat/VOP_GETATTR/puffs_vnop_getattr.

This mutex on size operation can be removed the day we decide VOP_GETATTR
has to operated on a locked vnode, since the other operations that touch
size already require that.
