I've been able to reproduce what I believe is the problem.  (In my case,
I reset my machine and watched the background fsck slowly grind to a
halt.  Foreground fsck is fine.)

The problem actually appears to be in vm_page_alloc(), not
vm_pageout.c.  Look for a commit to resolve this in a few hours.
