    kernel - Fix recursive lockmgr lock panic when creating a hardlink
    
    * HAMMER uses non-recursive vnode locks.  Fix a case where attempting
      to hardlink A to B where both already exist and point to the same
      inode can result in a panic if B is not in the namecache.
    
      HAMMER must temporarily lock the vnode it returns in the resolver
      and kern_link() was already holding A locked.  This all occurs
      before kern_link() is able to check whether A and B are the same
      so it can't be avoided.
    
      Solve the problem by unlocking A while resolving B.
