    buf_alloc(): Stop using LK_NOWAIT, use LK_NOWITNESS
    
    Despite the buffer taken from cache or free list, it still can be
    locked, due to 'lockless lookup' in getblkx() potentially operating on
    the freed buffers.  The lock is transient, but prevents the use of
    LK_NOWAIT there for the goal of neutralizing WITNESS.
    
    Just use LK_NOWITNESS.
