improvements in the openafs codebase

Hi all,
Thanks to some very useful pointers from kib@, I've fixed up the locking
around our calls to vgone(), which seems to have improved the stability of
the codebase quite a bit -- along with a trivial lock-order fix for
lookup, this lets a parallel buildworld complete on my four-core machine.
The code isn't in an OpenAFS release, yet, and I haven't made time to
squash all of the patches together on top of a release, but I did update
the git-based port, which can now be found at:
http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/openafs/openafs-devel.shar.txt
I'm planning on submitting to the Ports Collection once I write an rc
script and tidy up the packaging; hopefully OpenAFS 1.5.78 will be out by
then to simplify the patching phase.
