dounmount(9): temporarily enable recursion for the covered vnode lock
For some complex nullfs mount configurations, it is possible to get the
covered vnode lock for the mount shared with some inside-mount vnode
lock. Then at unmount time, vflush() would recurse on the covered vnode
lock when reclaiming the vnode.
Work around it, by temprorarily allowing recursion on the covered vnode
lock. Disable recursion after the unmount if it was not enabled before.
