This patches pushes Giant down into fdfree() by using VFS_LOCK_GIANT for the 
occasional VOP_ADVLOCK() and moving various vrele() calls out from under the 
FILEDESC_LOCK.  Note that about half the calls to fdfree() (either directly 
or indirectly via fdunshare()) didn't lock Giant anyway.  Please review 
and/or test, thanks!
