This particular code path is heavily exercised; and I haven't heard of
any similar panics on x86-based systems.  These observations make me
wonder if there isn't a missing memory barrier between a uma_dbg_alloc()
on one CPU and the uma_dbg_free() that's panicing on the other CPU.  In
other words, how are accesses to us_freelist[] being synchronized?
