This is usually because of a race in the vnode cache, causing
ufs_fhtovp to get a clean vnode.

I'm running with the attached patch for years, without apparent problems,
but I'm not conviced it's the right way to fix this (and I didn't find
why VFS_VGET would return a clean vnode here, which is the real issue).
