    kernel - namecache eviction fixes
    
    * Fix several namecache eviction issues which interfere with nlookup*()
      functions.
    
      There is an optimization where nlookup*() avoids locking intermediate
      ncp's in a path whenever possible on the assumption that the ref on
      the ncp will prevent eviction.  This assumption fails when the machine
      is under a heavy namecache load.
    
      Errors included spurious ENOTCONN and EINVAL error codes from file
      operations.
    
    * Refactor the namecache code to not evict resolved namecache entries
      which have extra refs under normal operation.  This allows nlookup*()
      and other functions to operate semi-lockless for intermediate elements
      in a path.  However, they still obtain a ref which is a cache-unfriendly
      atomic operation.
    
      This fixes numerous weird errors that occur during heavy dsynth bulk
      builds.
    
    * Also fix a bug which evicted too many resolved namecache entries when
      attempting to evict unresolved entries.  This should improve performance
      under heavy namecache loads a bit.
