Log:
  MFC r267392:
  Implement simple direct-mapped cache for popular filesystem identifiers to
  avoid congestion on global mountlist_mtx mutex in vfs_busyfs(), while
  traversing through the list of mount points.
  
  This change significantly improves NFS server scalability, since it had
  to do this translation for every request, and the global lock becomes quite
  congested.
  
  This code is more optimized for relatively small number of mount points.
  On systems with hundreds of active mount points this simple cache may have
  many collisions.  But the original traversal code in that case should also
  behave much worse, so we are not loosing much.
