[OpenAFS-port-freebsd] Kernel panic on fs mkmount

[David E. Cross]

I'm sorry, you're right  (as I said, its been awhile).  My hack was to 
vref(dvp), and then set vpp to dvp (not the other way around).

I'd like to see a modification to VNOP/afs_vnop_symlink.c
(afs_symlink()) to address this, as it would be the "cleanest" overall
instead of calling lookups needlessly, this could be done around line
223, removing (conditionally?) the PutVCache().  And modifying the
function to pass back the vpp correctly.
