  Log:
  When a vnode is vgone()'d its v_ops is replaced with dead_vnode_ops.
  dead_vnode_ops replaces VOP_LOCK with a dummy routine that just returns
  TRUE.
  
  This blows up anyone actually trying to access the vnode by improperly
  returning a successful lock which then panics the machine when the caller
  tries to unlock it.  This also screws up VOP_LOCK vs vx_lock() interactions
  and can theoretically create other problems.
  
  Normally vgone()'d vnodes have no references and this isn't a problem.
  The two notable exceptions are (1) when revoke() is called on a device
  (i.e. tty), and (2) when a procfs or linprocfs vnode is destroyed due
  to a process exit while another process is accessing it.
  
  Remove dead_lock().  Dead vnodes revert to defaultops which implement
  the expected lockmgr lock.
