Log:
Rather than ignoring any error return from getnewvnode() in nameiinit(),
explicitly test and panic. This should not ever happen, but if it does,
this is a preferred failure mode to a NULL pointer dereference in kernel.
No, a null pointer dereference is far preferable since it takes less code
and is easier to debug.
