Log:
  Quiet a WITNESS warning with the dirhash sx locks by setting the DUPOK
  flag.  Specifically, if two threads race to create a dirhash for a
  directory, then one might already have created a private dirhash
  structure (and locked it) when it realizes the directory now has a
  structure and tries to lock that one.
