    nullfs: Fix handling of doomed vnodes in nullfs_unlink_lowervp()
    
    nullfs_unlink_lowervp() is called with the lower vnode locked, so the
    nullfs vnode is locked too.  The following can occur:
    1. the vunref() call decrements the usecount 2->1,
    2. a different thread calls vrele() on the vnode, decrements the
       usecount 0->1, then blocks on the vnode lock,
    3. the first thread tests vp->v_usecount == 0 and observes that it is
       true,
    4. the first thread incorrectly unlocks the lower vnode.
    
    Fix this by testing VN_IS_DOOMED directly.  Since
    nullfs_unlink_lowervp() holds the vnode lock, the value of the
    VIRF_DOOMED flag is stable.
    
    Thanks to leres@ for patiently helping to track this down.
