This is a non-fatal warning of a lock order issue between UMA and the VM 
system.  I.e., you don't need to worry per se, but we do need to fix the 
source of the problem.  I haven't had a chance to investigate what commit 
started the recent spate of these, but I'm guessing a new lock is either 
acquired in the vm_pageout code, or in the vm_map code, and UMA sits in 
the middle.  This is part of the cyclic dependency between UMA an VM. 
UMA is acquiring its lock so it can safely walk and drain the zone list 
without zones disappearing, etc.
