When I committed the rewrite of the /dev/random entropy harvesting
locking, I ommitted to commit the change to subr_witness.c telling witness
about the lock change; witness requires that all spin locks be identified
in the hard-coded lock order (although maybe only if witness skipspin is
off, hence more people not running into it?).  I've merged the change to
subr_witness.c as change 1.182 as of a minute or two ago.  Please letme
know if that change doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks!
