    kernel - Fix issues where tmpfs loses file data
    
    * For TMPFS, UIO_NOCOPY writes must use bawrite() or bwrite() and must NEVER
      used buwrite() because these operations are being called via the VM page
      cleaning code via the pageout daemon or the vnode termination code
      (when maxvnodes is reached), and the underlying pages are about to be
      destroyed.
    
    * vm_object_terminate() must call vinvalbuf() both before (for normal
      filesystems) and also after (for tmpfs style filesystems).  Otherwise
      buffers potentially not disposed of during the page cleaning might
      get left hanging.  This is a safety feature.
    
    * Remove post-flush test code from vm_object_page_collect_flush() entirely.
      The IO's are in progress at this point so it makes no sense to set
      PG_CLEANCHK here.
    
    * vm_page_need_commit() must make the object writeable and dirty, I think.
    
    * Fix multiple places where m->dirty is tested and PG_NEED_COMMIT is not.
