The backtrace indicates, with 99% certainity that the issue is in the
requested read never finishing.  But the backtrace is obviously not
complete, and there might be something more happening.  At least,
we do not handle page-ins during uiomove() on user io for quite
some time.

If the vnode which io hung is UFS over md, you should look at the md
worker thread state.

A deadlock in the underlying io layer is consistent with this (secondary)
observation.
