Can you add some more yourself ?  We need to find out where Giant
is lost, it is picked up here:

        case MD_VNODE:
                mtx_lock(&Giant);
                hasgiant = 1;
                break;

And only dropped again when we exit.

Somehow it gets lost on your machine and there is nothing but for us
to find out where.

Can you try if you can reproduce it with WITNESS enabled  ?
