r224615 and r224655 must be reverted.
The reason for your trouble is that nullfs cannot cache any vnodes,
thus reclaiming anything that get reference count of 0. This interacts
badly with VOP_VNTOCNP() which has to operate on the vnodes with
zero refcount, since we cannot decrement refcount under the namecache
lock.
Trying to update vptocnp(9) interface is too intrusive change for freeze
period.
