    kernel - Fix cluster_awrite() race
    
    * Fix a race between cluster_awrite() and vnode destruction.  We
      have to finish working the cluster pbuf before disposing of the
      component elements.  b_vp in the cluster pbuf is held only by
      the presence of the components.
    
    * Fixes NULL pointer indirection panic associated with heavy
      paging during tmpfs operations.  This typically only occurs
      when maxvnodes is set to a relatively low value, but it can
      eventually occur in any modestly paging environment when
      tmpfs is used.
