 Subject: possible patch for vnode double unlock in pfs_lookup()

If the ISDOTDOT flag is set and the lockparent or ISLASTCN flags are not
set, pfs_lookup() unlocks the same vnode twice.  This can be observed by
running
	find / -print
with the DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS kernel option enabled.

I think the following is the correct patch:

I believe that it is safe to defer committing a fix until after
5.1-RELEASE.

The patch I committed DeMorgan-ized the expression so that it isn't
quite as !-happy.

You might also want to look for the message I sent to -current about 8
hours ago with the subject "vnode locking problem in pseudofs/procfs".
