Starting with r230341, I get the following panic when trying to run
an executable on a unionfs filesystem:

        exclusive lock of (lockmgr) ufs @
/usr/src/sys/modules/unionfs/../../fs/unionfs/union_vnops.c:1843
        while share locked from
/usr/src/sys/modules/unionfs/../../fs/unionfs/union_vnops.c:1843
        panic: excl->share
        cpuid = 0
        KDB: enter: panic

Narrowing down with a binary search: r230340 (no panic), r230341 (panic).

How to repeat:

        ....
        exclusive lock of (lockmgr) ufs @

        while share locked from

        panic: excl->share

Workaround?
        After reverting the change from LK_EXCLUSIVE to LK_SHARED
        in sys/kern/kern_exec.c, executables on union filesystems no
        longer cause a panic.
