  Log:
   - Don't acquire the vnode interlock in drain_output().  Instead, require the
     caller to acquire it.  This permits drain_output() to be done atomically
     with other operations as well as reducing the number of lock operations.
   - Assert that the proper locks are held in drain_output().
   - Change getdirtybuf() to accept a mutex as an argument.  This mutex is used
     to protect the vnode's buf list and the BKGRDWAIT flag.  This lock is
     dropped when we successfully acquire a buffer and held on return
     otherwise.  These semantics reduce the number of cumbersome cases in
     calling code.
   - Pass the mtx from getdirtybuf() into interlocked_sleep() and allow this
     mutex to be used as the interlock argument to BUF_LOCK() in the LOCKBUF
     case of interlocked_sleep().
   - Change the return value of getdirtybuf() to be the resulting locked buffer
     or NULL otherwise.  This is for callers who pass in a list head that
     requires a lock.  It is necessary since the lock that protects the list
     head must be dropped in getdirtybuf() so that we don't have a lock order
     reversal with the buf queues lock in bremfree().
   - Adjust all callers of getdirtybuf() to match the new semantics.
   - Add a comment in indir_trunc() that points at unlocked access to a buf.
     This may also be one of the last instances of incore() in the tree.
