sommerfe 36dc99adac vinvalbuf, called from vclean, could cause a locking-against-self
deadlock in VOP_FSYNC() if the unreferenced vnode picked for
reclamation happened to be stacked on top of a vnode the process
already had locked.  This could happen if the same filesystem was
accessed both through a union mount and directly; it seemed to happen
most frequently when the direct access was through NFS.

Avoid this deadlock by changing vinvalbuf to pass a new FSYNC_RECLAIM
flag bit to VOP_FSYNC() to indicate that a reclaim is in progress and
only a `shallow' fsync is necessary.

Do nothing in *_fsync() in umapfs, nullfs, and unionfs when
FSYNC_RECLAIM is set; the underlying vnodes will shortly be released
in *_reclaim and may be reclaimed (and fsync'ed) later.
