New Revision: 240862
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/240862

Log:
  Address a race condition that was introduced in r238212.  Unless the page
  queues lock is acquired before the page lock is released, there is no
  guarantee that the page will still be in that same page queue when
  vm_page_requeue() is called.
