New Revision: 267755
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/267755

Log:
  Don't take filedesc lock in fdunshare().
  
  We can read refcnt safely and only care if it is equal to 1.
  
  If it could suddenly change from 1 to something bigger the code would be
  buggy even in the previous form and transitions from > 1 to 1 are equally racy
  and harmless (we copy even though there is no need).
  
  MFC after:	1 week
