    VFS: update VOP_FSYNC() debug check to reflect actual locking policy
    
    Shared vs. exclusive locking is determined not by MNT_EXTENDED_SHARED
    but by MNT_SHARED_WRITES (although there are several places that
    ignore this and simply always use an exclusive lock).  Also add a
    comment on the possible difference between VOP_GETWRITEMOUNT(vp)
    and vp->v_mount on this path.
    
    Found by local testing of unionfs atop ZFS with DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS.
