    vfs: don't provoke recycling non-free vnodes without a good reason
    
    If the total number of free vnodes is at or above target, there is no
    point creating more of them.
    
    Tested by:      pho (in a bigger patch)
    
    (cherry picked from commit 8733bc277a383cf59f38a83956f4f523869cfc90)
