 Log:
 MFC: Always use an exclusive lock on the leaf vnode during an open() when
 shared lookups are enabled.  This closes a few races including a race where
 concurrent opens of a fifo could result in different v_fifoinfo structures
 in different threads.

Long term we should really look for a better solution to this problem. There are a number of was to improve snapshots in ffs by fixing shared locking.
