	simple_lock(&vp->v_interlock);
	object = vp->v_object;
	if (object != NULL) {
		if (flags & V_SAVEMETA)
			vm_object_page_remove(object, 0, object->size,
				(flags & V_SAVE) ? TRUE : FALSE);
		else
			vm_object_page_remove(object, 0, 0,
				(flags & V_SAVE) ? TRUE : FALSE);
	}
	simple_unlock(&vp->v_interlock);

The above code in vfs_subr.c sleeps holding a simple lock if
vm_object_page_remove() sleeps.  There is obviously no way for
vm_object_page_remove() to release the lock.
